The open access paper here is a good companion to yesterday’s review of what is know of the way in which chronic inflammation disrupts hematopoiesis. Hematopoiesis is the complex process by which hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow produce blood and immune cells, vital to the function of the immune system. The immune system becomes overactive in later life, pushed into a constant state of low grade inflammation by the damage of aging and its …
