Abstract:Aging is associated with immunological changes that compromise response to infections and vaccines, exacerbate inflammatory diseases and could potentially mitigate tissue repair. Indeed, regenerative medicine strategies designed to promote tissue repair are now focusing on the immune system as a therapeutic target due to its role in response to tissue damage and regulation of tissue repair. However, age-related immune changes to the response to damage and the resulting impact on repair remains unknown. Here, w… Show more
“…Recent work has detailed the role of T lymphocytes in the response to a biological scaffold and found that aging induces senescence and increases IL-17-related signaling that impairs tissue repairs and therapeutic responses to biological scaffolds. 184 These studies raise the importance of age-specific innate and adaptive immune responses to biomaterials, including context-specific macrophage responses, and their implication for limiting the foreign body response.…”

The emerging role of T cells, stromal cells, and senescent cells and their interactions with other cell types in the FBR are discussed in this review. Additionally, factors that modulate the phenotype of these cells are briefly considered.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
