Evolutionary medicine and bone loss in chronic inflammatory diseases--A theory of inflammation-related osteopenia.

TLDR
It is worked out that bone waste is an adaptive, evolutionarily positively selected program that is absolutely necessary during acute inflammation, but when acute inflammation enters a chronic state due to the inability to terminate inflammation, the acute program of bone loss is a misguided adaptive program.

The Continuum of Aging and Age-Related Diseases: Common Mechanisms but Different Rates.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that ARDs and GSs such as frailty can be conceptualized as accelerated aging will be discussed, and the use of DNA methylation, N-glycans profiling, and gut microbiota composition to complement the available disease-specific markers are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The gut-bone axis: how bacterial metabolites bridge the distance

TL;DR: This Review will focus on the effects ofSCFAs on the musculoskeletal system and discuss the mechanisms whereby SCFAs regulate bone cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic inflammatory systemic diseases An evolutionary trade-off between acutely beneficial but chronically harmful programs

TL;DR: Considering evolved energy trade-offs helps to understand how an energy imbalance can lead to the disease sequelae of CIDs and clinicians must translate this knowledge into early diagnosis and symptomatic treatment in CIDs.

2010 Rheumatoid arthritis classification criteria: an American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism collaborative initiative.

TL;DR: This new classification system redefines the current paradigm of RA by focusing on features at earlier stages of disease that are associated with persistent and/or erosive disease, rather than defining the disease by its late-stage features.

From inflammation to sickness and depression: when the immune system subjugates the brain

TL;DR: In response to a peripheral infection, innate immune cells produce pro-inflammatory cytokines that act on the brain to cause sickness behaviour, which can lead to an exacerbation of sickness and the development of symptoms of depression in vulnerable individuals.

Inflamm‐aging: An Evolutionary Perspective on Immunosenescence

TL;DR: The beneficial effects of inflammation devoted to the neutralization of dangerous/harmful agents early in life and in adulthood become detrimental late in life in a period largely not foreseen by evolution, according to the antagonistic pleiotropy theory of aging.

TL;DR: At the beginning of the second half of the 20th century, most efforts were directed at understanding the molecular and cellular basis of the immune response and the mechanisms of acquisition of immunologic responses.
