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...

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...
