CD4 CTLs in supercentenarians: Signs of adaptive expansion in healthy aging

Hashimoto et al. show that CD4 CTLs expand around age 100 and form large private clones without exhaustion. These cells exhibit stepwise differentiation and cytokine plasticity, suggesting adaptive re...

t was a pleasure to highlight Barbadilla-Martínez et al. (Nature). A powerful example of how integrative approaches uncover layers of genome regulation, linking mechanism to function and opening paths toward disease insights. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
