Molecules act on human biological clocks

Scientists at the University of California in San Diego (USA) have discovered a molecule called 'longdaysin' that has an unprecedented impact on human biological clocks.

This is the premise for them to develop a drug that works to reduce fatigue and insomnia due to time zone differences, which passengers have to travel constantly by unavoidable aircraft.

According to the study, this type of molecule is capable of significantly slowing down the human biological clock. Chances are, it will pave the way for a host of new treatments for serious sleep disorders, or quickly re-establish a standard biological clock for passengers who frequently travel across time zones. .

The researchers also added that they found a new compound that could extend the biological clock of the plaited larvae to more than 10 hours. This compound was discovered when they used a genetic research robot to test more than 120,000 molecular compounds.

According to scientists, this compound helps the human body to keep up with changes caused by time zone differences, or simply establish a normal day-night cycle for those who work. shift work.
