Scientists are investigating how a thymus-derived hormone may help combat inflammaging—chronic, low-grade inflammation that increases with age and contributes to cancer, heart disease, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. This age-related inflammatory state has long puzzled researchers seeking ways to reverse its harmful effects. The potential therapeutic approach could have significant implications for cancer treatment and overall healthy aging. Understanding how to modulate this inflammatory response may open new avenues for treating multiple age-related conditions simultaneously.
