Can Herpesvirus Infections Influence When and How We Age

2026-08-26

Abstract excerpt

Aging is accompanied by numerous interlinked cellular, genetic, and molecular changes, one of the most consequential being inflammaging: a chronic, low-grade systemic inflammatory state linked to metabolic dysregulation and pleiotropic effects on immune function. Although diverse intrinsic and extrinsic factors are known to drive inflammaging, the contribution of persistent viral infection remains incompletely und...
