研究人员发现肌肉细胞有内时钟影响生长,建议轮班工作可能加速老龄化。 Researchers discover muscle cells have internal clocks affecting growth, suggesting shift work may accelerate aging.

King's College London的研究人员发现肌肉细胞有自己的圆钟,调节蛋白质循环,影响肌肉的成长和功能。 Researchers from King's College London found that muscle cells have their own circadian clocks, regulating protein turnover and impacting muscle growth and function. 这些时钟在轮班工人中司空见惯,打乱这些时钟会增加有缺陷蛋白质的积累,从而加速老龄化。 Disrupting these clocks, common in shift workers, can accelerate aging by increasing the accumulation of defective proteins. 在研究斑马鱼时,小组观察到过早老化的迹象,包括肌肉功能减弱。 Studying zebrafish, the team observed signs of premature aging, including reduced muscle function. 这种研究可能导致轮班工人肌肉衰减的治疗方法。 This research may lead to treatments for muscle decline in shift workers.
