Roles of circadian clocks in cancer pathogenesis and treatment

March 26, 2022
Lee, Y. Roles of circadian clocks in cancer pathogenesis and treatment. Exp Mol Med 53, 1529–1538 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1038/s12276-021-00681-0 Abstract Circadian clocks are ubiquitous timing mechanisms that generate approximately 24-h rhythms in cellular and bodily functions across nearly all living species. These internal clock systems enable living organisms to anticipate and respond to daily changes in their environment in...
