Circadian clock-based therapeutics in chronic pulmonary diseases
Treatments targeting the body’s internal clock for long-term lung diseases

Abstract
The circadian clock is a key factor in the pathobiology of chronic pulmonary diseases.
- Disruption of the circadian clock in the lungs is associated with chronic pulmonary diseases.
- Pharmacological manipulation of the circadian clock may offer new therapeutic strategies.
- No current efforts have integrated recent findings for treating chronic lung diseases.
- Potential candidate clock genes exist that could be targeted for therapy.
- A roadmap is proposed to advance the development of circadian clock-based treatments.
