Aging gene signature of memory CD8+ T cells is associated with neurocognitive functioning in Alzheimer’s disease
2 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Memory CD8+ T cells expand with age. We previously demonstrated an age-associated expansion of effector memory (EM) CD8+ T cells expressing low levels of IL-7 receptor alpha (IL-7Rαlow) and the presence of its gene signature (i.e., IL-7Rαlow aging genes) in peripheral blood of older adults without Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Considering age as the strongest risk factor for AD and the recent...
