An organ involved in immunity, the thymus, vanishes as people get older, and scientists are researching ways to regrow it to fight aging.

Immunity

Model: C57BL/6J mice 
Dosage: Eating only within an 8-hour window and fasting for 16 hours (~20% caloric deficit may be required)

Restricting food intake for 16 hours a day improves the health of female mice and moderately prolongs the life of male mice.
