Epigenetic Clock and Circadian Rhythms in Stem Cell Aging and Rejuvenation

This review summarizes the current understanding of the interaction between circadian rhythms of gene expression and epigenetic clocks characterized by the specific profile of DNA methylation in CpG-islands which mirror the senescence of all somatic cells and stem cells in particular. Basic mechanis...
