The role of the circadian clock system in physiology.

October 13, 2019
Pflugers Arch. 2018 Feb;470(2):227-239. doi: 10.1007/s00424-017-2103-y. Epub 2018 Jan 4. Life on earth is shaped by the 24-h rotation of our planet around its axes. To adapt behavior and physiology to the concurring profound but highly predictable changes, endogenous circadian clocks have evolved that drive 24-h rhythms in invertebrate and vertebrate species. At the molecular level,...
