When we came to see our destroyed labs hit by an Iranian missile, we found that a piano had survived @WeizmannScience

New work in @ScienceTM connects immunosenescence and the decline of the thymus during aging with a drop in the ligand RANKL—and shows RANKL treatment restores T cell production and rejuvenates immune responses in aged mice. scim.ag/3OZ6uOE

What is the contribution of p21-positive senescent cells to tissue fibrosis? @KrizhanovskyLab @WeizmannScience show that p21 controls not only cell cycle progression but also promotes expression of ECM components and immune invasion embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…
