Age-associated B cells are a problematic subset of the B cell population of immune cells that emerges in later life. In recent years researchers have uncovered various ways in which these cells contribute to the pathology of specific age-related conditions. The existence of age-associated B calls makes clearance of B cells an interesting topic; there are ways to destroy the entire B cell population in the body, which then reconstitutes itself within a few weeks minus any senescent or age-asso...
