Shift-work causes negative impacts on health, affects men and women differently

April 21, 2021
APRIL 21, 2021 by University of Waterloo https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-04-shift-work-negative-impacts-health-affects.html Shift-work and irregular work schedules can cause several health-related issues and affect our defense against infection, according to new research from the University of Waterloo. These health-related issues occur because the body’s natural clock, called the circadian clock, can be disrupted by inconsistent changes in the sleep-wake schedule...

Modeling the circadian regulation of the immune system: Sexually dimorphic effects of shift work

April 21, 2021
Stéphanie M. C. Abo et al. Modeling the circadian regulation of the immune system: Sexually dimorphic effects of shift work, PLOS Computational Biology (2021). DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1008514 Abstract The circadian clock exerts significance influence on the immune system and disruption of circadian rhythms has been linked to inflammatory pathologies. Shift workers often experience circadian misalignment as their irregular work...

Circadian Misalignment and Metabolic Disorders: A Story of Twisted Clocks

April 5, 2021
Woller, A.; Gonze, D. Circadian Misalignment and Metabolic Disorders: A Story of Twisted Clocks. Biology 2021, 10, 207. https://doi.org/10.3390/biology10030207AMA Style Simple Summary In mammals, many physiological processes follow a 24 h rhythmic pattern. These rhythms are governed by a complex network of circadian clocks, which perceives external time cues (notably light and nutrients) and adjusts the timing of...

Circadian clock: a regulator of the immunity in cancer

March 23, 2021
Zhang, Z., Zeng, P., Gao, W. et al. Circadian clock: a regulator of the immunity in cancer. Cell Commun Signal 19, 37 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12964-021-00721-2 Abstract The circadian clock is an endogenous timekeeper system that controls and optimizes biological processes, which are consistent with a master circadian clock and peripheral clocks and are controlled by various genes. Notably, the disruption of...

March 15, 2021
de Assis, L.V.M., Oster, H. The circadian clock and metabolic homeostasis: entangled networks. Cell. Mol. Life Sci. (2021). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00018-021-03800-2 Abstract The circadian clock exerts an important role in systemic homeostasis as it acts a keeper of time for the organism. The synchrony between the daily challenges imposed by the environment needs to be aligned with biological processes...
