Abstract:
The immune system is intricately interconnected with all other bodily systems. As individuals age, the immune system undergoes changes known as immunosenescence, increasing susceptibility to disease, and contributing significantly to the morbidity and mortality observed in older populations. Immunosenescence drives systemic aging and therefore represents a key therapeutic target to extend healthy aging. In recent years, the extensive application of omics technologies has broadened our understanding of aging and immunity, necessitating a comprehensive database to encapsulate these advancements and deepen our insights into immune aging in the era of artificial intelligence. The Immunosenescence Inventory is a pioneering database designed to provide a multidimensional and integrative view of the aging immune system. By leveraging cutting-edge omics technologies and analytical tools, Immunosenescence Inventory offers a comprehensive resource for researchers to explore the intricate relationship between immunosenescence and age-related health outcomes. Furthermore, the database, which aids in the creation of diagnostic tools for immune aging conditions, is now publicly available at https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/iaa/home.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
