Aging is exacerbated by alterations of stem cell circadian rhythm

(Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona)) Two studies published in Cell and headed by Salvador Aznar Benitah at IRB Barcelona reject the scientific dogma associating aging with the loss of stem cell circadian rhythm. The studies show that during aging, stem cells continue to show rhythmic activity but reprogram their circadian functions.The team also demonstrate that a low-calorie diet delays alterations in the rhythmic functions of stem cells and slows down ageing.
