Where this comes from

Abstract

While investigating sex-differences in T-cell aging, <i>Mkhikian et al.</i>, identified a role for excessive IL-7 signaling and N-glycan branching in age-related mouse and human female T-cell dysfunction. These findings point to the increasingly-recognized importance of the impact of biological sex on immune aging and delineate new targetable pathways in age-related immune dysfunction.
