Explore the impact of aging and exercise on immunity in this comprehensive webinar presented by Dr. Marian L. Kohut, Barbara Forker Endowed Professor of Kinesiology and Immunobiology at Iowa State University. Delve into the concept of geroscience and the seven pillars of aging, examining the biological processes involved. Investigate immunosenescence and its effects on the body's defense mechanisms. Analyze research studies, including mouse models, that demonstrate the relationship between exercise, aging, and immune function. Learn about the role of chemokines, cytokines, T cells, and interferons in the immune response. Discover ongoing work in the field of immunity and aging, including research on nanovaccines and vaccine exercise. Gain valuable insights into how physical activity can potentially mitigate age-related immune decline and improve overall health in older adults.
