Abstract

Organismal aging involves several hallmark pathways, including chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction. However, the origin of age-related inflammation is incompletely understood. In a recent study published in Nature,<sup>1</sup> Widjaja et al. show that blocking the age-related increase in IL-11 restores immune-metabolic homeostasis and extends healthspan and lifespan in mice.
