Aging Weakens Immunity. An mRNA Shot Turned Back the Clock in Mice.

The treatment converted the liver into an immune cell "nursery" that pumped out greater numbers of healthy T cells.

An experimental mRNA treatment has converted the liver into an immune cell "nursery" that pumped out greater numbers of healthy T cells in mice. Since the immune system has a powerful effect on other things like organ health and inflammation, it is hoped that such a treatment in humans might significantly expand our "healthspan", keeping us healthier and more disease-free later in life.
