Core Tip	The authors divide immune cells, which are involved in age-related pathological changes, into two categories. First category is aging of immune cell-itself, which include age-related myeloid lineage deviation of hematopoietic stem cells, the shrinkage of thymus followed by the decline of naïve T cells, the cytomegalovirus infection-mediated decline of T-cell receptor repertoire diversity and functional decline of myeloid cells. Second category is the involvement of immune cells to age-related pathological changes. Age-related tissue damage and cellular senescence activate pro-inflammatory (M1) macrophages, which induce many age-related diseases. Biochemical works are needed to further elucidate age-related immune changes.
