Daily patterns of clock gene activity in mouse immune cells
Updated
Abstract
Functional molecular clock mechanisms exist in splenic macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells.
- Circadian rhythms influence various physiological processes in mammals.
- Gene expression of clock genes and transcription factors was measured in immune cells.
- Splenic macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells show circadian changes in gene expression.
- The study involved mice under both a light-dark cycle and constant environmental conditions.
