'Late-Life' Genes Activated by Biological Clock to Help Protect Against Stress, Aging
CORVALLIS, Ore., Feb. 21 -- Oregon State University issued the following news release:
Researchers at Oregon State University have discovered that a subset of genes involved in daily circadian rhythms, or the "biological clock," only become active late in life or during periods of intense stress when they are most needed to help protect critical life functions.
The findings, made in research done with fruit flies and published today in Nature Communication . . .
