Background All active scientists stand on the shoulders of giants and many other more anonymous scientists, and this is not different in our field of psycho-neuro-endocrine immunology in rheumatic diseases. Too often, the modern world of publishing forgets about the collective enterprise of scientists. Some journals advise the authors to present only literature of the last decade, and it became a natural attitude of many scientists to present only the latest publications. In order to work against this general unempirical behavior, Neuroimmunomodulation devotes the 30-year anniversary issue to the history of medical science in psycho-neuro-endocrine immunology. Summary Keywords were derived from the psycho-neuro-endocrine immunology research field very well known to the authors (R.H.S. collects a list of key words since 1994). We screened PubMed, the Cochran Library of Medicine, Embase, Scopus database, and the ORCiD database to find relevant historical literature. The Snowballing procedure helped to find related work. According to the historical appearance of discoveries in the field, the order of presentation follows the subsequent scheme: 1. The sensory nervous system, 2. The sympathetic nervous system, 3. The vagus nerve, 4. Steroid hormones (glucocorticoids, androgens, progesterone, estrogens, and the vitamin D hormone), 5. Afferent pathways involved in fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, and depression (in-cludes pathophysiology), and 6. Evolutionary medicine and energy regulation – an umbrella theory. Key Messages A brief history on psycho-neuro-endocrine immunology cannot address all relevant aspects of the field. The authors are aware of this shortcoming. The reader must see this review as a viewpoint through the biased eyes of the authors. Nevertheless, the text gives an overview of history in psycho-neuro-endocrine immunology of rheumatic diseases.

Introduction: Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes at the ends of chromosomes that are under the control of genetic and environmental triggers. Accelerated telomere shortening is causally implicated in the increasing incidence of diseases. The Mediterranean diet has recently been identified as one that confers protection against diseases. This review aimed to identify the effect of each component of the Mediterranean diet on telomere length dynamics, highlighting the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods: PubMed was searched to identify relevant studies to extract data for conducting a narrative review. Results: The Mediterranean diet alleviates clinical manifestations in many diseases. Focusing on autoimmune diseases, the Mediterranean diet can be protective by preventing inflammation, mitochondrial malfunction, and abnormal telomerase activity. Also, each Mediterranean diet constituent seems to attenuate aging through the sustenance or elongation of telomere length, providing insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms. Polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids seem to be essential in telomere homeostasis, since they inhibit inflammatory responses, DNA damage, oxidative stress, mitochondrial malfunction, and cell death and induce telomerase activation. Conclusions: The Mediterranean diet is beneficial for maintaining telomere dynamics and alleviating age-related illnesses. This review provides a comprehensive overview of cross-sectional, observational, and randomized controlled trials regarding the beneficial impact of every constituent in the Mediterranean diet on telomere length and chronic disease management.
