Der Schlaf-Schalter: 😴 Somatostatin gilt seit langem als einer der wichtigsten Regulatoren für Gesundheit, Gedächtnis & Lebensspanne. Eine neue Studie @cmcb-tud.bsky.social zeigt: Schlaf ist die zentrale Schaltstelle, über die das Hormon viele lebenswichtige Prozesse koordiniert. ℹ️ tud.link/ekgcb1

😴 The Sleep Switch: Somatostatin has long been known as a major regulator of health, memory, and #lifespan. Prof. Bringmann’s team found that #somatostatin doesn’t control these functions directly. Instead, it regulates #sleep 💤 which in turn drives it all! Read more: tud.link/rdzud2 #CMCBnews
