Time-based materials for brain treatments that match the body's daily rhythms

Abstract

Circadian rhythms regulate daily changes in neural activity, metabolism, and behavior over a roughly 24-hour cycle.

  • Disruption of circadian rhythms is commonly associated with neurological and psychiatric disorders.
  • Current brain therapies often utilize fixed dosing schedules, potentially overlooking time-of-day variations in treatment effectiveness.
  • Recent advancements have led to chronobiomaterials that allow for precise control of therapeutic delivery based on circadian timing.
  • These chronobiomaterials include a variety of platforms such as nanoparticles and bioelectronic interfaces.
  • AI-enabled approaches may facilitate personalized chronotherapy by adapting treatments in real-time according to circadian rhythms.
