A research team led by scientists from several Japanese institutions has identified a compound called Mic-628 that directly influences the body’s internal clock. Experiments showed that Mic-628 specifically activates Per1, a core gene that helps regulate the daily biorhythm in mammals. Faster Recovery from Jet lag in Animal Experiments miR-628 (also known as miRNA-628) belongs […]
