Low-frequency ultrasound treatment reduces susceptibility to <i>Salmonella</i> infection in aged mice
Our study demonstrates the efficacy of low-frequency ultrasound (LFU) treatment in significantly rejuvenating the immune system in aged mice and reducing their susceptibility to <i>Salmonella</i> infection. These findings underscore the potential of LFU as a therapeutic intervention to boost immune function in elderly populations, reducing the risk of infectious diseases.
