Researchers in a recent review in Nature Aging discuss the potential of vaccine-based therapeutics for age-related disorders. Aging is a risk factor for chronic illnesses, and vaccines provide a method to target specific antigens and generate immune responses. Vaccines that target senescent cells, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, type 2 diabetes, vascular diseases, osteoarthritis, fibrosis, and kidney conditions are being explored. While vaccines show promise in treating these disorders, further research is needed to address adverse effects and enhance efficacy. Combining vaccines with immunomodulatory drugs could offer a more effective treatment approach for age-related disorders.
