Masters et al. discuss the often overlooked contribution
of the stromal microenvironment as an extrinsic factor to immunosenescence and inflammation.12 Accumulation
of senescent stromal
cells which demonstrate the senescent associated secretory phenotype (SAPS), may alter tissue structure and function, and increase local inflammation.13 The impact
of altered
lymphoid stromal microenvironment may be widespread and include altered haematopoiesis, reduced lymphatic flow and disrupted secondary
lymphoid organisation, which consequently will alter antigen transportation and presentation to T
cells.12
