Journal ArticleDOI
How sex and age affect immune responses, susceptibility to infections, and response to vaccination
TL;DR: This review deals with the aging immune system and its interplay with sex steroid hormones and suggests interventions, which distinctively consider the changing level of individual hormones, shall provide potent options in maintaining optimal immune functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
miR‐17, miR‐19b, miR‐20a, and miR‐106a are down‐regulated in human aging

TL;DR: Decrease in these miRNAs correlated with increased transcript levels of some established target genes, especially the cdk inhibitor p21/CDKN1A, establish mi RNAs as novel markers of cell aging in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benign prostatic hyperplasia: age-related tissue-remodeling.
TL;DR: The multifactorial nature of prostate tissue remodeling in elderly men with symptomatic BPH is summarized, with a particular focus on changes of cell-cell interactions and cell functions in the human aging prostate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insufficient protection for healthy elderly adults by tetanus and TBE vaccines.
Ursula Hainz,Brigitte Jenewein,Esther Asch,Karl-P. Pfeiffer,Peter Berger,Beatrix Grubeck-Loebenstein +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that immunological responsiveness to vaccination decreases throughout adult life, and that conventional vaccination strategies designed for children and young adults cannot be uncritically applied in the elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Profiling molecular targets of TGF-beta1 in prostate fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transdifferentiation.
TL;DR: Evaluating the stromal cell phenotypes of human primary adult prostatic fibroblasts and the molecular and cellular mechanisms of growth arrest after treatment with TGF-beta1 revealed that cellular senescence and transdifferentiation of fibroblast have distinct underlying mechanisms, pathways and gene and protein expression profiles in human PrSCs.
