Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of the skin as a peripheral clock model, which is relevant to cognitive function and memory as it contributes to the understanding of circadian rhythms and their impact on cognitive processes.
Aging: The paper explores the maturation and aging of the skin clock, providing insights into how aging affects circadian rhythms in the skin.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the synchronizing effects of melatonin on the skin clock, highlighting the role of hormones in regulating circadian rhythms.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper's investigation into the skin as a peripheral clock model may have implications for lighting design considerations, as light is a major external signal for the clock.
Well-being: Understanding the skin's role as a peripheral clock model contributes to the broader understanding of circadian rhythms, which are crucial for overall well-being.
