An Unexpected, & Novel, Target for Prostate Cancer – Our Biological Clock

January 24, 2021
Thomas Jefferson University 01.15.21 Researchers find that CRY-1, a regulator of circadian rhythms, promotes tumor progression by altering DNA repair. PHILADELPHIA – Our biological or circadian clock synchronizes all our bodily processes to the natural rhythms of light and dark. It’s no wonder then that disrupting the clock can wreak havoc on our body. In fact, studies...
