This study showed that centenarians had very specific changes in CD4+ T cell populations, which were manifested by an elevated Th17/Treg ratio in vivo, as well as a changed secretory phenotype. Although the T cells of centenarians cannot resist the aging-related expression of proinflammatory genes, their secretory phenotype was altered, explaining the relatively low level of inflammation in centenarians. These results suggested the presence of a mechanism to ameliorate inflammaging in centenarians. This may be achieved by reversing the imbalance of Th17/Treg cells and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Most of the best conferences relating to aging research, and the longevity industry that has emerged from that research, feature an even mix of entrepreneurs, scientists, and investors. The networking at these conferences leads to the foundation of new ventures and seed funding for young ventures. This is important in a field in which there are many, many opportunities to make progress.
