Abstract

Circadian misalignment is linked to diseases such as metabolic syndrome and cancer.

  • Circadian clocks help organisms align physiological processes with environmental cycles.
  • The molecular oscillator within each cell is responsible for clock function in complex organisms.
  • Advancements have improved understanding of how circadian clocks connect to maintain coherence across different tissues.
  • Disruptions in clock coordination may result from modern societal influences.
