Skin regenerates at sunset

 

The stem cells that regenerate the skin are regulated by a daily cycle. In the morning, they do very little; their work begins at dusk. Disrupting this natural rhythm ages the skin and may increase the risk of certain cancers.

These are the findings of a study on mice and recently published in Nature, given its possible relevance to humans. Mice, humans and other species share a protein that regulates epidermal stem cell activity and rest phases. We are animals subject to the rotation of the Earth and the day-night cycle. Skin cells are more vulnerable to mutation when they are dividing, so they do not divide in broad daylight when the sun’s harmful UV rays could cause cancer.
