Imagine a world
immune to aging

How does the Immune System
controls aging?

We have been pioneers proposing that the immune system, particularly T cells, controls tissue senescence and the onset of age-related diseases. We are now investigating how the immune system contributes to systemic senescence as well as to the general aging process. Would the rejuvenation of the immune system compartment suffice to delay organismal aging or at least some of its manifestations? An affirmative response to this question might have vast consequences for  improving healthy aging.

At Mittelbrunn Scientific Research, we aspire to rejuvenate the immune system using cutting-edge nutritional, genetic, cellular, and pharmacological strategies, aiming to prevent chronic inflammation and age-related diseases, thereby redefining the concept of healthy aging.
