Lung environment in healthy old age shapes the phenotype and CCR2-mediated recruitment of a subset of apoptotic, high-turnover alveolar macrophages
Immune system changes with healthy aging lead to chronic systemic inflammation termed inflammaging, contributing to age-related pathologies. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) maintain lung homeostasis and health. The impact of inflammaging on AM populations requires further definition. Herein, we examined the effect of he...
