Chronodentistry: the role & potential of molecular clocks in oral medicine

March 24, 2021
Janjić, K., Agis, H. Chronodentistry: the role & potential of molecular clocks in oral medicine. BMC Oral Health 19, 32 (2019). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12903-019-0720-x Abstract Molecular clocks help organisms to adapt important physiological functions to periodically changing conditions in the environment. These include the adaption of the 24 h sleep-wake rhythm to changes of day and night. The circadian clock is...

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...
