Description

The abstract establishes that 3dA requires RUVBL2 for circadian benefits and enhances circadian amplitude, but the molecular mechanism linking 3dA to RUVBL2-dependent transcriptional enhancement remains unexplained. Understanding this pathway is critical for developing targeted circadian therapeutics for aging.
