Menopause reshapes women’s immune systems, leaving them vulnerable to infection. A new study has shown that HRT may help reverse these changes and boost immune health. https://www.ndorms.ox.ac.uk/news/hormone-therapy-may-help-restore-immunity-in-menopausal-women

It's #MenopauseAwarenessDay! Our new study exploring why women’s immune defences weaken after menopause offers some hope - suggesting that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) not only relieves symptoms, but those taking it had healthier immune systems in later life. https://f.mtr.cool/abqkylmndg

Hormone replacement therapy helps restore immune function in menopausal women, reducing inflammaging and preserving monocyte function. open-access onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Extends what I previously summarized from immune system clocks erictopol.substack.com/p/new-anti-a...

New paper alert #immunosky 🚨 What happens to our immune systems as we get older? What happens after the menopause? Turns out monocytes are actually quite important in their own right! Check out our paper in Aging Cell now: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

If you have wondered how age, sex and even the menopause influences monocyte phenotype and function. Then our new preprint is for you www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
