research A Meeting of Two Chronobiological Systems: Circadian Proteins Period1 and BMAL1 Modulate the Human Hair Cycle Clock 92 citations , September 2013 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” BMAL1 and Period1 genes can influence human hair growth.
research Thyroxine Differentially Modulates the Peripheral Clock: Lessons from the Human Hair Follicle 30 citations , March 2015 in “PLoS ONE” Thyroxine can adjust the body's peripheral clock, potentially helping treat clock-related diseases.
research Timing of expression of the core clock gene Bmal1 influences its effects on aging and survival 237 citations , February 2016 in “Science Translational Medicine” The timing of when the gene Bmal1 is active affects aging and survival, with its absence during development, not adulthood, leading to premature aging.
