Good quality sleep is essential for good health. More and more research is looking at how sleep duration affects wellbeing and the development of disease. Research led by UCL researchers concludes that less than five hours of sleep in mid to late life may be associated with an increased risk of developing at least two […]
Sleep Apnea Can Impair Memory
Poor sleep quality can have a negative impact on memory. Research has already shown that fluctuations in nightly sleep duration and reduced sleep quality impair older adults’ ability to recall information about past events. It has been known for decades that important things happen during sleep in terms of consolidating memory and strengthening recollections. Current […]
Scientists Have Discovered that Ageing Clocks are Based on Random Events
Ageing clocks can measure the biological age of people with high precision. Biological age can be influenced by environmental factors such as smoking or diet and can therefore deviate from chronological age, which is calculated based on the date of birth. The accuracy of these aging clocks suggests that the aging process follows a program. […]
The Synchronization Between the Central Circadian Clock and the Circadian Clocks of the Tissues Preserves their Function
Two complementary research articles show that central and peripheral circadian clocks coordinate the daily activity of skin and muscles. Coordination between the two clocks (central and peripheral) ensures 50% of the circadian functions of tissues, including vital processes such as cell cycle, DNA repair, mitochondrial activity and metabolism. Synchronization between the brain’s central and peripheral […]
Researchers Target Neurogenesis in a New Approach to Treating Parkinson’s Disease
Researchers have found a way to better control the preclinical generation of key neurons that are damaged in Parkinson’s disease, revealing a new approach to a disease for which there is no cure and few effective treatments. Efficient Method: Stimulating Stem Cell Differentiation to Produce Neurons in the Midbrain Parkinson’s disease is the second most […]
