Circadian clocks are endogenous oscillators that control 24-h physiological and behavioral
processes. The central circadian clock exerts control over myriad aspects of mammalian …

The Earth turns on its axis every 24 h; almost all life on the planet has a mechanism—
circadian rhythmicity—to anticipate the daily changes caused by this rotation. The molecular …

The circadian system, that is ubiquitous across species, generates∼ 24 h rhythms in
virtually all biological processes, and allows them to anticipate and adapt to the 24 h …

Biological clocks are autonomous anticipatory oscillators that play a critical role in the
organization and information processing from genome to whole organisms. Transformative …

Shift work is a risk factor for hypertension, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. This
increased risk cannot be fully explained by classic risk factors. One of the key features of …

Most bodily functions vary over the course of a 24 h day. Circadian rhythms in body
temperature, sleep-wake cycles, metabolism, and blood pressure (BP) are just a few …

Accumulating evidence suggests that the molecular circadian clock is crucial in blood
pressure (BP) control. Circadian rhythms are controlled by the central clock, which resides in …

Immune parameters change with time of day and disruption of circadian rhythms has been
linked to inflammatory pathologies. A circadian-clock-controlled immune system might allow …

Circadian clocks align behavioral and biochemical processes with the day/night cycle.
Nearly all vertebrate cells possess self-sustained clocks that couple endogenous rhythms …

Biological clocks are genetically encoded oscillators that allow organisms to anticipate
changes in the light–dark environment that are tied to the rotation of Earth. Clocks enhance …
