Circadian Clock Therapies Boost Stroke Recovery by Enhancing Brain Waste Clearance in Mice
TL;DR
A study in mice found that strengthening circadian rhythms through light exposure, melatonin, the clock-targeting drug KL001, or time-restricted feeding improved glymphatic brain clearance and lowered inflammatory molecules after stroke, even when therapy began three days later, suggesting circadian-based rehab could aid recovery pending human trials.
