Abstract
This collection includes 16 original and review articles from seven countries on circadian rhythms in aging.
- Aging is linked to a decline in physiological balance, leading to increased risks of various disorders.
- Circadian biology connects environmental time cues to resilience at cellular, tissue, and organismal levels.
- The circadian timing system (CTS) features a central pacemaker in the brain and peripheral clocks that regulate daily physiological and behavioral rhythms.
- The articles cover a range of topics including molecular chronomics, immune aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolism.
- Circadian regulation is proposed as a key concept in understanding aging biology.
