General:

Age‐related changes in the gut microbiota influence systemic inflammation and stroke outcome [May 2018]. https://doi.org/10.1002/ana.25250 Aged biome increased the levels of systemic proinflammatory cytokines. We conclude that the gut microbiota can be modified to positively impact outcomes from age‐related diseases.

Gut Microbes Contribute to Age-Associated Inflammation in Mice. A mouse study reveals a causal link between changes in intestinal microbiota and increasing inflammation as the rodents age (2017): http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/49189/title/Gut-Microbes-Contribute-to-Age-Associated-Inflammation-in-Mice

Age-related Alterations in Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis (2017): http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S088915911730034X "These changes suggest that changes in the gut microbiota and associated increases in gut permeability and peripheral inflammation may be important mediators of the impairments in behavioral, affective and cognitive functions seen in aging."

Researchers studying the gut bacteria of thousands of people around the globe have come to one conclusion: The microbiome is a surprisingly accurate biological clock, able to predict the age of most people within years https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/01/bacteria-your-gut-may-reveal-your-true-age - Human microbiome aging clocks based on deep learning and tandem of permutation feature importance and accumulated local effects (2018): https://doi.org/10.1101/507780

Peptides:

Antimicrobial peptides extend lifespan in Drosophila.

Eco-Aging: stem cells and microbes are controlled by aging antagonist FoxO. The review highlights the dual role that the conserved master regulator FoxO has in aging by coordinating both stem cell proliferation and antimicrobial peptides, effector molecules of the innate immune system.
