Using body clock timing to improve immune therapy for brain cancer

Abstract

Circadian rhythms are linked to neurodegenerative diseases and increased cancer vulnerability.

  • Disruptions in circadian rhythms may influence physiological processes related to cancer and neurodegeneration.
  • Immunotherapy has shown limited efficacy in treating brain malignancies.
  • Circadian regulation affects immune responses, including how immune cells are localized and function.
  • Dysregulation of circadian rhythms could impair anti-cancer immunity.
  • Current immunotherapeutic approaches for brain cancer include immune checkpoint blockades and adoptive cellular therapies.
  • Future strategies may involve chronotherapy and personalized treatment schedules to enhance immunotherapy effectiveness.
