Immunosurveillance Enhancement

Meaning

Immunosurveillance enhancement refers to clinical or therapeutic strategies aimed at boosting the innate capacity of the immune system to recognize and destroy aberrant cells, particularly senescent, pre-cancerous, or virally infected cells. This function is a vital component of longevity, as the efficiency of immune clearance declines with age, a process termed immunosenescence. Enhancement protocols focus on optimizing the activity of key immune components, such as Natural Killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, to maintain a robust defense against internal threats. Successful enhancement is critical for preventing the accumulation of dysfunctional cells and maintaining tissue homeostasis.
