One thing still unknown is what allows some people to live into their 100s, while others do not.

New research studied seven centenarians and found that every subject who lived to 100 or older has robust immune systems. Here’s why that matters.

More people are living to 100 and beyond, and scientists at Boston University and Tufts Medical Center have studied DNA to discover why.

Scientists believe that centenarians' secret to exceptional longevity might be their unique immunity that is highly protective and adaptable.

The findings back “the hypothesis that centenarians are enriched with protective factors that increase their ability to recover from infections,” one of the researchers says.

Researchers at Boston University and Tufts Medical Center analyzed the DNA and lifestyles of seven centenarians to seek the fountain of youth.
