Israeli scientists in the experiment managed to rejuvenate the immune system of mice.

Now, scientists working under the guidance of Professor Doron Melamed, declare that the aging process is manageable. In the near future, mankind will learn to fight the diseases of the elderly, as reported by the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years Pannochka. Net A group of scientists from Haifa Technion (Israel Institute of Technology) has proved that removing from the body old B-lymphocytes, which play an important role in providing humoral immunity, leads to the fact that the body begins to produce new cells.

The immune system weakens with age, which manifests itself in a significant increase in morbidity among the elderly and their reactions to vaccination, scientists say..

An important role in immunity is played by cells-B, which are responsible for the production of antibodies and memory B-cells. However, with age, the body's ability to produce new cells decreases, while "old" cells accumulate with limited ability to respond to infection, TSN reports..

During the experiment in adult mice, scientists "removed" part of the B cells, violating the natural balance in the body. To overcome the deficit created, the bone marrow began to develop new B cells at the rate characteristic of young organisms. As a result of this process, immunity was strengthened, and the rate of response of the body to infection increased.

Let us note that earlier the Russian scientist, professor Vladimir Skulachev claimed that he had discovered an antioxidant that slows down the aging process.
