How Time Supports the Immune System
Updated
Abstract
Nearly all organisms exhibit daily rhythms that are linked to immune function.
- Circadian rhythms influence various physiological processes, including gene expression and behavior.
- Several aspects of the immune response are regulated based on the time of day.
- Recent studies indicate that disruptions in circadian rhythms may impair immune function.
- Microbial components can affect the circadian clock, suggesting a bidirectional relationship.
- Daily variations in immune responses have been observed in human subjects.
