Immune-senescence refers to the aging of the immune system and the resulting deterioration in its ability to fight infections and cancer in older individuals. This phenomenon is reflected in the numerous infectious diseases which show increased severity in the elderly, most recently demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic would have differed markedly if the severity of disease in older individuals was similar to healthy young individuals. Therefore, understanding what factors contribute to immune-senescence and how to reverse them is of great importance
