Description
Chromatin instability leads to alterations in gene expression that re-directs cellular senescence by corruption of chemokine and cytokine signalling resulting in epithelial to mesenchymal transitions and the potential for metastatic cancer in the elderly .
As lymphocyte lineage's age these underlying pathobiochemical events are potentiated by hypo and hyper immune responses thus generating a downward reductio to misdirected hyperinflammatory states and the potential for autoimmune disease sequalae.
