Circadian clocks confer 24-h periodicity to biological systems, to ultimately maximize energy
efficiency and promote survival in a world with regular environmental light cycles. In …

The function of the circadian cycle is to determine the natural 24 h biological rhythm, which
includes physiological, metabolic, and hormonal changes that occur daily in the body. This …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the aetiological agent of
the pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a newly found member of the …

Circadian rhythms are present in almost every organism and regulate multiple aspects of
biological and physiological processes (eg metabolism, immune responses, and microbial …

Sunlight drives phototrophic metabolism, which affects redox conditions and produces
substrates for nonphototrophs. These environmental parameters fluctuate daily due to …

The recently observed circadian oscillations of the intestinal microbiota underscore the
profound nature of the human–microbiome relationship and its importance for health …

Background Circadian rhythm is characterised by daily variations in biological activity to
align with the light and dark cycle. These diurnal variations, in turn, influence physiological …

Timing is everything. Many organisms across the tree of life have evolved timekeeping
mechanisms that regulate numerous of their cellular functions to optimize timing by …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important components of the innate immune system and
are involved in skin protection against environmental insults and in wound healing. Herein …

Simple Summary The circadian clock is an endogenous time keeping mechanism found in
living organisms and their respective pathogens. Numerous studies demonstrate that …
