AARP recently published several new reports — all worth a read. Rant on. The survey reports, about the 50+ gamers and 50+ tech trends, each identify an age band of the 70+, something AARP began a few years ago and kudos to them, that banding continues among some of their research reports.

Macrophage Polarization in Aging is Complicated and Poorly Understood
Macrophages are a type of innate immune cell, and like all immune cells are involved in a great many processes in the body, ranging from tissue regeneration to clearing out molecular waste and debris to destruction of pathogens. Macrophages, and the similar microglia of the central nervous system, adopt different phenotypes, known as polarizations, depending on environment and the task at hand. The M1 polarization is pro-inflammatory and focused on ingestion of pathogens and debris, while th…

When You’re Unhappy and Want Things to Change

“Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.” ~Seneca
This is the first time I am admitting it: I was bullied in school.
I was thirteen years old at the time, and it went on for the one year that I lived in Dorm 11. I never acknowledged it because I felt bullying was too small a misfortune to complain about.
But now when I think back to it, I can remember exactly how the dormitory looked. I remember the view from the windows, the corridor in front of my dorm. I remember the faces of the other kids and I remember my face—vulnerable, confused, and lost.
It was the same year that I started showing symptoms of OCD. Things just went downhill from there…
I guess I got lucky because at one point, things started to slowly get better. At twenty-nine, my life isn’t perfec…

Calorie Restriction and Calorie Restriction Mimetics Dampen Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is an important aspect of aging, a process that stems from low-level biochemical damage and cellular dysfunction, and that then contributes to the progression of age-related disease and tissue dysfunction. Chronic inflammation sustained over years accelerates all of the common fatal age-related conditions: it disrupts tissue maintenance, and leads to fibrosis, immune dysfunction, and many more issues. The chronic inflammation of aging is important enough that beneficial therapies have been built on the basis of suppressing inflammation directly, without addressing its causes. Treatments that actually address the causes should be very much better at the end of the day, of course.
Interventions that have been demonstrated to slow aging in laboratory species tend to act to suppress t…
