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...

Night shift schedule alters endogenous regulation of circulating cytokines

March 15, 2021
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2451994421000043#coi0010 Abstract Night shift work is a risk factor for viral infection, suggesting that night shift schedules compromise host defense mechanisms. Prior studies have investigated changes in the temporal profiles of circulating cytokines important for priming and restraining the immune response to infectious challenges from night shift work, but not by way of a 24-h...
