The thymus tissue also turns to fat rather than healthy immune cell-producing thymic tissue. Eventually, the thymus wastes away, becoming a useless fatty organ that no longer produces immune cells.<\/p>\n<p>This structural decay of the thymus and the failure of the immune system when we are old opens us up to multiple age-related diseases, particularly cancer, along with infectious diseases, such as pneumonia and flu.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafscience.org\/the-potential-of-thymus-regeneration\/?fbclid=IwAR2TwpLg4-7oGPGYNEYGPuxv9D4IMIjP8neqo_8-e-KDPqi5h7bDtk9pH34\">https:\/\/www.leafscience.org\/the-potential-of-thymus-regenera...7bDtk9pH34<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intervene Immune is a company focused on the age-related decline of the immune system, which is known as immunosenescence.
