The immune system’s capacity to distinguish self from non-self is in large part mediated by immunoglobulins, with IgG playing a pivotal role in both protective and pathological responses.

IgG was the only class of antibodies that were actively transported from mother to offspring for a long time, and this resulted in short-term passive immunity. The specific IgG transport was realized ...

This review uncovers how aging reshapes immunoglobulins, particularly IgG, IgM, and IgA, driving inflammation, cellular senescence, and tissue degeneration. By dissecting B-cell dysfunction, ...
