Actually, there is lack of evidence that "Hematopoietic stem cells ... diminish in their self-renewal capacity"

Vaccination

Wikipedia says: "It involves both the host’s capacity to respond to infections and the development of long-term immune memory, especially by vaccination".

Perhaps this can be solved be using a bigger dose of vaccine, or taking several doses of vaccine, separated by for example 1 month?

Thymic involution ... in humans it begins after puberty

In this article it states in Section: Age-associated decline in immune function:

Thymic involution is common in most mammals; in humans it begins after puberty, as the immunological defense against most novel antigens is necessary mainly during infancy and childhood.

In the article https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Thymic_involution it states in the introduction:

Though thymic involution has been linked to immunosenescence, it is not induced by senescence as the organ starts involuting from a young age: in humans, as early as the first year after birth.

What's the most recent, generally accepted view: 1) begins after puberty or 2) starts as early as the first year after birth. Agentjoerg (talk) 05:20, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
