Abstract excerpt
Aging readily affects immune system under the influence of environmental and/or intrinsic factors while accelerating the development of various immune disorders including autoimmune diseases. Little is known about molecular and cellular mechanisms connecting between immune senescence and development of autoimmune diseases. Here, we first show strain-specific and aging-sensitive onset of B-cell abnormality in a...
