Selective Clock-Gene Responses to Photoperiodic and Glucocorticoid Exposure in Human Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Objective: Circadian rhythms regulate essential cellular functions, yet their presence and entrainment in human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) remain poorly defined.Methods: hUC-MSCs were cultured under 12-hour light/12-hour dark (light-dark [LD]) cycles or constant darkness (DD) for four days...
