This study supports the proposed model that aging-related loss of colonic crypt epithelial cell AMP gene expression can promote increased relative abundances of Gn inflammaging-associated bacteria and gene expression markers of colonic inflammaging. These data may support new targets for aging-related therapies based on intestinal genes and microbiomes.

Thoughts on Micronutrient Intake During Calorie Restriction
Despite the considerable attention given to calorie restriction and intermittent fasting in the research community, there is very little formalism applied to the practice in humans. The few clinical trials conducted to date have had to pick their own protocols, and it is only comparatively recently that the fasting mimicking diet was developed to plant a flag on one specific implementation. The challenge here is that it is difficult to monetize calorie restriction and fasting, and thus there is no push towards standardization or more detailed assessment of variant protocols from any of the usual parties who might otherwise...

Science Snippet: Examining Enzymes

Every day, our cells must produce all the various molecules they need to stay alive. But the chemical reactions to create these molecules can’t occur without help—which is where enzymes come in. Enzymes are biological catalysts, meaning they speed up the rate of specific chemical reactions by reducing the amount of energy needed for the reaction to occur. Most enzymes are proteins, but some RNA molecules can also act as enzymes.
Thousands of different enzymes ...

A New Day for Parkinson ’s Disease Research Is Near
By STEVEN ZERCOLA
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Service (“HHS”) is responsible for a wide range of activities relating to medical and public health. It has 60,000 employees and a $1.7 trillion annual budget with approximately $140 billion for discretionary spending. For the past 13 years, HHS has been spearheading a National Plan for addressing Alzheimer’s disease – with some notable successes.
Given its resources, expertise and charter, HHS should launch a National Plan to cure Parkinson’s disease patterned after its approach on Alzheimer’s disease.

Modest Effects on Cognitive Decline from Multivitamin Use
Setting aside cases of vitamin deficiency, the consensus on supplement use (including vitamins) in essentially healthy individuals is that it does little to nothing, or is even mildly harmful to long-term health. That mild harm might include use of antioxidants that diminish the beneficial response to exercise that is mediated in part by oxidative stress. As a counterpoint to the consensus, researchers here provide evidence for multivitamin use to modestly improve cognitive function in later life. Whether this result will hold up in other study populations is a question, and we'll likely be waiting a while on the answer. I...
