Correction to 'Early life inflammation, immune response and ageing'.

Immune response parameters during labor and early neonatal life.

AIM Selected cytokines, associated with Th1 and Th2 immune response and inflammation, were studied in order to evaluate the relation between their release into maternal and neonatal circulation, during labour, and after birth, in comparison with those in adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cytokine concentrations were determined by very sensitive immunoassays, in maternal serum (MS), umbilical cord...

Early-life adversity accelerates cellular ageing and affects adult inflammation: Experimental evidence from the European starling

Early-life adversity is associated with accelerated cellular ageing during development and increased inflammation during adulthood. However, human studies can only establish correlation, not causation, and existing experimental animal approaches alter multiple components of early-life adversity simultaneously. We developed a novel hand-rearing paradigm in European starling nestlings (Sturnus vu...

Ageing and immunity: addressing immune senescence to ensure healthy ageing.

Among the greatest achievements of the 20th century, prolongation of life expectancy has been the result of improved health conditions, decreased childhood mortality, lower incidence of infectious diseases. The consequence is the rapid ageing of the world population, with the elderly representing over 25% of the entire population by the year 2030, of which 75% living in less developed countries...
