Researchers from UCSD and UC Irvine show that a decline in ELOVL2, important for producing DHA, disrupts B cell development. This study from Inside Precision Medicine illustrates how lipid metabolism influences immune aging and may guide future therapeutic strategies to enhance longevity.
Q&A
- What is ELOVL2?
- How does lipid metabolism affect immune function?
- Can immune function be restored by targeting this enzyme?
