Researchers publishing in Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins have published the results of a clinical trial on the effects of a probiotic on inflammaging in older people. The gut and systemic inflammation The researchers begin this paper discussing their target of inflammaging, as this condition has been linked to multiple other age-related disorders, including Alzheimer's [1]....
