Molecular Connections Between the Body’s Daily Clock and Cell Division in Adult Stem Cells

Updated

Abstract

Circadian rhythms may regulate cell divisions through intercellular connections involving WNT signaling.

  • Circadian clocks and cell cycles are interconnected biological systems that communicate with each other.
  • Recent findings suggest that Paneth cells influence the cell cycle in intestinal stem cells through signaling pathways.
  • This interaction highlights a shift from considering circadian regulation solely within individual cells to recognizing its effects in multicellular environments.
  • Understanding the molecular dynamics between these two oscillators could lead to identifying new targets for timing treatments effectively.
