- | The biological basis of aging (also known as senescence) is the subject of debate. A number of theories suggest aging is inevitable, the product of "wear and tear" or a result of some evolutionary necessity. For example, Skulachev argues that aging performs a specific biological function, with the turnover in new members of a species promoting greater evolutionary fitness.(({{pubmed> | + | The biological basis of aging (also known as senescence) is the subject of debate.

Could the chronic inflammation associated with aging be caused by pathogens? Given the crudeness of tools now used to measure microbes and the ubiquity of the human microbiota, this seems like a reasonable if not inevitable conclusion as the early studies have begun to suggest. | Could the chronic inflammation associated with aging be caused by pathogens?

On their way to the cell’s surface, phospholipids more easily attach themselves to CD1d molecules, making it more difficult for glycolipids to attach to CD1d. Because of this, it is harder for glycolipids to make it to the surface of the cell. This means that iNKTs cannot be as easily stimulated by glycolipids. | On their way to the cell’s surface, phospholipids more easily attach themselves to CD1d molecules, making it more difficult for glycolipids to attach to CD1d.

- | Scientists believe iNKT cells are necessary because they appear to protect cells against the progression of certain cancers and autoimmune diseases. However, iNKT cells are extremely active and can cause alcoholic hepatitis or other types of liver diseases if they are overstimulated. The phospholipid’s ability to more easily bind to CD1d molecules than glycolipids keeps a balance between the two cell types and maintains homeostasis in the immune system. | + | Scientists believe iNKT cells are necessary because they appear to protect cells against the progression of certain cancers and autoimmune diseases.

A number of the sickest patients on the Marshall Protocol, who are killing intracellular bacteria at the fastest rate possible, take over three years to completely recover their health. This hints at the large amount of pathogen-altered DNA that many people, even those who are not yet displaying the hallmarks of Th1 disease, are carrying. | A number of the sickest patients on the Marshall Protocol, who are killing intracellular bacteria at the fastest rate possible, take over three years to completely recover their health.
