Klotho—a Common Link in Physiological and Rheumatoid Arthritis-Related Aging of Human CD4+ Lymphocytes
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Human CD4(+) T lymphocytes undergo aging-related changes leading to decreased immunity to infections and neoplasms, and to increased frequency of autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Certain changes, observed in the CD4(+) cells of RA patients, resemble those observed during physiological aging, but occur at earlier age. Underlying cellular mechanism(s) of these similarities are so far largely...
