An anti-aging vaccine: BCG turns back the clock on remyelination failure
Aging leads to alterations that precipitate or aggravate several diseases that occur across our lifespan. In the CNS, aging affects the capacity to maintain and repair the myelin sheaths that protect axons and facilitate neuronal signaling. Tiwari et al. report aging-associated transcriptional respo...

Zusammenfassung: | Aging leads to alterations that precipitate or aggravate several diseases that occur across our lifespan. In the CNS, aging affects the capacity to maintain and repair the myelin sheaths that protect axons and facilitate neuronal signaling. Tiwari et al. report aging-associated transcriptional responses in microglia after demyelination, which could be reversed by epigenetic remodeling after BCG vaccination.
