Conclusion
Use of the Khavinson peptides and melatonin in combination in this way, at this dose, negatively impacts the thymus, producing a reduction in active tissue and increase in atrophy to fatty tissue. The degree to which this atrophy occurred is greater than one would expect to take place over nine months of aging at this stage of life.
Why did this outcome occur, given the animal studies showing thymic regrowth, and the studies showing reduced later life mortality following use of thymogen? We can only speculate. Firstly, the dose makes the poison, and the dosing here may have been too high, too frequ...

The One-Two Punch of Cancer Therapies Plus Senolytics
There is considerable enthusiasm in the cancer research community regarding the prospects for improved patient outcomes via the use of senolytics to clear senescent cells from tissues. It seems fairly clear that an increased burden of senescent cells results from the use of traditional cancer therapies, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and that this is most likely the cause of a large fraction of the greater risk of age-related disease and shorter remaining life expectancy in cancer survivors. Undergoing those forms of cancer therapy is literally a matter of signing up for accelerated aging - and still the preferable alterna...

Viral Infection as a Contributor to the Burden of Cellular Senescence
This open access paper discusses the evidence for viral infections to increase the burden of cellular senescence, specifically in the context of atherosclerosis and immunosenescence in aging. Viral infection is thought to contribute to both issues, and from what is known of the role of increased numbers of senescent cells in aging, it is possible that increased senescent cells numbers is a significant mechanism. Certainly, we should hope to see researchers establish that a great deal of degenerative aging, accelerated by viral infection or otherwise, can be blamed on the unwanted activities of lingering senescent cells. Th...

Dismissed for too long: the impact of migraine on children & young people
Migraine Trust - An estimated one in ten children are living with migraine. This potentially limits their development and ability to take part in education, social activities, and other important parts of growing up. It can also be hard for children to understand and explain their pain, and there are fewer treatment options for them than there are for adults. Based on a variety of workshops and surveys with children and young people who have migraine, parents and carers, and education professionals, this report highlights a clear need for better understanding of how migraine impacts children and for tailored informat...

Conclusion
Coupled with the animal data, and the existing human trial data for safety, the results here suggests that someone should run a formal, controlled trial of flagellin immunization in older people, 65 and over. The goal would be to see whether (a) this sort of outcome holds up in a larger group of people, and (b) there is a meaningful impact on chronic inflammation and other parameters of health that are known to be affected by the aging of the gut microbiome.
The most interesting part of the data is perhaps the decline in microbial diversity, when considered against the gains elsewhere. Microbial dive...

BMC Global and Public Health: New journal to advance SDG research
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the monkeypox outbreak being declared a ‘public health emergency of international concern’ by the WHO, we as a pioneer in open access publishing and open science feel the urgency to provide a venue for high quality research advances in the global and public health fields. At BMC we already have a strong representation and excellent standing within the public health communities, especially owing to our largest OA title BMC Public Health and its engaged editors and editorial board. By launching this new selective journal, we aim to connect and support the global and public he...
