Thymulin May Slow Aging Inflammation | Science News

A tiny chest organ, the thymus, may hold the key to slowing aging-related inflammation — and even improving cancer treatment. New mouse studies reveal that thymulin, a hormone produced by the thymus, helps regulate inflammation as we age. Once overlooked, this hormone’s role in longevity and disease response is now emerging as critical: older mice given thymulin showed reduced inflammation, slower tumor growth, and better cancer treatment outcomes. With fewer side effects than current therapies, thymulin could revolutionize aging and age-related disease treatments — if human trials confirm these promising results.
