A flood of new immune cells would help to restore the balance, and in recent years researchers have demonstrated that transplanting a young and active thymus into an old mouse does in fact restore measures of immune function, and extends life span as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightaging.org\/archives\/2016\/12\/immune-restoration-results-from-placing-a-young-thymus-into-an-aged-mouse\/\">https:\/\/www.fightaging.org\/archives\/2016\/12\/immune-restorati...ged-mouse\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Decline of the immune system is one of the areas SENS are working on, with just over a week left for the Winter Fundraiser and Triple donation match now is the time to support their work!
