Measles is among the most contagious viruses known. A single case can cause dozens more in places where people are unvaccinated. Infants too young for vaccination, immune-compromised people and the elderly are all at risk. Measles isn’t just a fever and rash. It can cause pneumonia, brain inflammation, permanent disability and death.

Meet Nancy, the French 'antisemitism victim' who since last fall has been 'living in fear' due to relentless antisemitic harassment…

Well she's just been caught red-handed spray-painting the hateful graffiti and sending the threats to herself.

Now Nancy faces over €30,000 in fines and possible prison time.

We conclude that healthy older adults show evidence of mitochondrial impairment and muscle weakness, but that this can be partially reversed at the phenotypic level, and substantially reversed at the transcriptome level, following six months of resistance exercise training.

journals.plos.orgResistance Exercise Reverses Aging in Human Skeletal MuscleHuman aging is associated with skeletal muscle atrophy and functional impairment (sarcopenia). Multiple lines of evidence suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction is a major contributor to sarcopenia. We evaluated whether healthy aging was associated with a transcriptional profile reflecting mitochondrial impairment and whether resistance exercise could reverse this signature to that approximating a younger physiological age. Skeletal muscle biopsies from healthy older (N = 25) and younger (N = 26) adult men and women were compared using gene expression profiling, and a subset of these were related to measurements of muscle strength. 14 of the older adults had muscle samples taken before and after a six-month resistance exercise-training program. Before exercise training, older adults were 59% weaker than younger, but after six months of training in older adults, strength improved significantly (P<0.001) such that they were only 38% lower than young adults. As a consequence of age, we found 596 genes differentially expressed using a false discovery rate cut-off of 5%. Prior to the exercise training, the transcriptome profile showed a dramatic enrichment of genes associated with mitochondrial function with age. However, following exercise training the transcriptional signature of aging was markedly reversed back to that of younger levels for most genes that were affected by both age and exercise. We conclude that healthy older adults show evidence of mitochondrial impairment and muscle weakness, but that this can be partially reversed at the phenotypic level, and substantially reversed at the transcriptome level, following six months of resistance exercise training.

The gut knows: "Stress can make people feel sick, and bacteria in the gut might be to blame, according to a study1 in mice. The research suggests that a stressed brain directly shuts down specific glands in the gut, affecting gut bacteria and the body’s broader immune system."

www.nature.comHow the stressed-out brain can weaken the immune systemStress leads to disarray of the gut microbiome, which in turn causes inflammation and a drop in the body’s ability to fend off infection.

Researchers... have discovered that the brain has an astonishing ability to regulate the immune system. This study, conducted in mice, revealed that the brain can both detect inflammation and modulate the immune response, either ramping it up or suppressing it as needed. This finding could pave the way for new therapies to treat a range of diseases where the immune system becomes overactive or dysregulated.

“As the deadliest vector-borne disease, malaria continues to present a challenge to those battling the disease and underscores an urgent need for the development of novel insecticides or vaccines,” said co-author Mark Nelder, an entomologist with Public Health Ontario who specializes in vector-borne diseases, in a press release.
