Researchers describe role of biological clock and how it affects ageing

New research reveals that the biological clock of stem cells affects their function.

Correct balance is crucial for skin rejuvenation.

OUR skin regenerates daily and has to face harmful environmental factors such as sunlight and pathogens. In an article published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, scientists at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, have described how the circadian rhythm (internal biological clock) modulates the function of human skin stem cells to achieve optimum regeneration and protection against harmful agents.
