Research progress of circadian clock genes regulating stem cell differentiation
Circadian clock exists widely in all kinds of organisms and regulates various physiological activities of organisms,which mainly depends on the rhythmic expression of circadian clock genes.Circadian clock genes play an important role in many physiologi-cal processes,which has been shown to be closely related to tissue regeneration.Stem cells are the focus of regenerative medicine,and the regulation of stem cells directed differentiation can achieve tissue repair and regeneration.Studies have shown that circadian clock genes are the key factors regulating stem cell differentiation,so targeting circadian clock genes shows certain therapeutic prospects.In this review,the research progress of the regulation of circadian clock genes in the differentiation of stem cells and their related mecha-nisms is introduced and analyzed to provide possible ideas for the future application of regenerative medicine.
