- Common eating habit may trigger premature immune system aging, study finds
A study from the University of South Alabama found that a high-salt diet triggers the immune system to release interleukin-16 (IL-16), causing premature aging of blood vessel cells and impairing their function. Experimental senolytic drugs like navitoclax reversed this damage in mice but face challenges in human application.
