Abstract excerpt
Age-related alterations in the human blood system occur in B cells, T cells, cells of the innate system, as well as hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Interestingly, age-related, reduced genetic diversity can be identified at the stem cell level and also independently in B cells and T cells. This reduced diversity is most probably related to somatic mutations or to changes in the microenvironmental...
