Recent research published by EuroNews on March 28, 2026, investigates the role of ageing-related inflammation in older adults' susceptibility to respiratory viruses.
The study emphasizes the involvement of immune cells associated with the GZMK gene, which have been observed in individuals experiencing severe COVID-19.
Understanding these biological mechanisms is crucial for developing targeted interventions to mitigate risks for older populations during flu seasons and pandemics.
