Internal body clocks working together maintain daily biological balance

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.
