The Connection Between Stem Cell Circadian Rhythm and Aging
Every living organism that is exposed to sunlight possesses an internal clock set to an approximately 24-hour schedule. Day and night cycles influence every cell within our bodies. Governed by a region of the brain’s hypothalamus referred to as the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), circadian rhythms modulate cellular function and control bodily processes such as sleep-wake […]
Chronobiology and Chemotherapy: Drug Timing Improves Treatment Effectiveness
When it comes to cancer treatments and chemotherapy, it can be considered a given that everyone involved wants the best possible outcomes. New research linking chronobiology and chemotherapy, reveals the optimal time to administer chemo drugs for the best treatment outcomes. Individualized drug regimens could mean more effective and less toxic treatments. What Are Circadian Rhythms? All […]
