Abstract
Circadian clocks are biological timing mechanisms that generate 24-h rhythms of physiology and behavior.
- Mismatches between internal body clocks and daily environmental cycles may lead to physiological disruption and disease.
- Circadian clocks have been shown to modulate responses to food intake, exercise, and infections.
- Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of circadian physiology could enable targeted therapies for disease prevention and treatment.
- Recent advances in circadian research suggest potential therapeutic applications that consider patient circadian rhythms.
