The problem of aging population in China is becoming increasingly severe. Intervening aging and its related diseases, developing safe and effective strategies to delay aging process have become urgent scientific issues. Accumulation of chronic inflammation, a common feature of multi-tissues in the elder, promotes cell and organism aging. This article reviews the role and underlying mechanisms of inflammation in aging and age-related diseases, as well as the anti-aging interventions targeting on inflammatory signals.
