“…Thus, a relation between the proinflammatory Th17 lymphocytes and Tregs was demonstrated to change with advancing age and may depend on increased secretion of IL-6 ( Churov et al, 2020 , Deng et al, 2022 , Kimura and Kishimoto, 2010 , Mysliwska et al, 1998 , Mysliwska et al, 1997 , Salminen, 2021c , Schmitt et al, 2013 ). The data on the functionality of Tregs in aging individuals are conflicting; some papers indicate their increased immunosuppressive activities, other point at its reduction; it is noteworthy, that studies performed on mice may not correspond to the observations of Tregs in humans ( Churov et al, 2020 , Deng et al, 2022 , Guo et al, 2020 , Salminen, 2021b , Salminen, 2021c ).…”
