Virtual memory CD8⁺ T cells in aging: heterogeneity, bystander protection, inflammatory potential, and inhibitory regulation
{{output}}
Aging reshapes the CD8⁺ T cell compartment through contraction of the naïve pool and expansion of memory-phenotype populations, including the progressive accumulation of antigen-inexperienced virtual memory (VM) CD8⁺ T cells. VM CD8⁺ T cells arise in the a... ...
