摘要
您注意到了吗?随着年龄增长,许多老年人的生物节律会发生紊乱,白天瞌睡晚上醒,或者本来白天好好的,却在日落时分犯起糊涂来。此外,老年人也易患阿尔兹海默病、帕金森病等神经退行性疾病,这些问题出现的背后有什么内在的联系?
Many patients of neurodegenerative diseases were also suffered from circadian-related problems, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Recently, researchers found that the neurodegenerative diseases-associated gene could directly regulate the expression of core circadian genes, and thus influences the circadian-related behaviors.
