Stress Accelerates Immune Aging by Altering the Microbiome

Chronic psychological stress suppresses activity in the prefrontal cortex and periaqueductal gray, triggering a downstream depletion of gut Lactobacillus reuteri and its anti-aging metabolite spermidine. This biochemical crash directly accelerates the aging of hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, mapping a novel brain-gut-bone axis for stress-induced immune decay.
