Aging is known to be a risk factor for the biological changes that create the dangerous buildup of plaque in arteries called atherosclerosis. Aging also induces a buildup of memory CD8 T cells, a type of immune cell, in mice and humans.
While this buildup of plaque leads to the heart attacks and strokes that cause nearly one-third of deaths worldwid . . .
