claimImmunosenescence is the process of immune system aging, which causes immune cells to become less responsive and ultimately ineffective.
quoteMaya Koronyo, PhD, stated: "With aging, our bodies undergo a process called immunosenescence, or aging of the immune system. So it's not only your brain and heart that are aging, and your skin that is wrinkling, but there's also a specific process that causes the immune cells to become less responsive and ultimately ineffective."
