Communicating clocks shape circadian homeostasis

October 7, 2021
Koronowski KB, Sassone-Corsi P. Communicating clocks shape circadian homeostasis. Science. 2021;371(6530):eabd0951. doi:10.1126/science.abd0951 The publisher’s final edited version of this article is available at Science Abstract Circadian clocks temporally coordinate physiology and align it with geophysical time, enabling diverse lifeforms to anticipate daily environmental cycles. In complex organisms, clock function originates from the molecular oscillator within each cell...

Desynchronized circadian clock and exposures to xenobiotics are associated with differentiated disease phenotypes

October 5, 2021
Makris, K. C. (2021). Desynchronized circadian clock and exposures to xenobiotics are associated with differentiated disease phenotypes. BioEssays, e2100159. https://doi.org/10.1002/bies.202100159 Abstract A paradigm shift in the human chronotoxicity of xenobiotics would study two-sided desynchronized phenomena of interfacial interactions between cyclic or periodic environmental insults and the endogenous response and recovery profile. These systems-based networks are under the influence of...
