About this Research Topic
The biological clock, typically referred to as the circadian rhythm, is a universally recognized phenomenon in the natural world. This intricate process encompasses physiological, biochemical, and behavioral elements, permitting organisms to align with cyclical environmental variations. The maintenance of a robust biological rhythm contributes significantly to human health, whereas disturbances can precipitate a range of conditions, such as sleep and immune disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative conditions, and even malignancies. However, the clinical detection and diagnosis of disorders related to circadian rhythm stand as challenging tasks.
The central goal of this research Topic is to offer a comprehensive examination of the central part the circadian rhythm plays in dictating physiology, development, metabolism, and the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The particular focus will be aligned with the sphere of tumor chronotherapy.
We are calling for submissions that address the broader aspects of the intricate subject of the biological clock for this special issue. We are particularly interested in contributions concerning the following, although our interests are by no means limited to these areas:
• Research papers analyzing the governance of circadian rhythm in both normal physiological and developmental contexts.
• Comprehensive reviews that detail circadian rhythm mechanisms in conditions like malignant tumors, mental disorders, and cardiovascular ailments.
• Insightful viewpoints on disease chronotherapy based on the principles of the biological clock.
• Studies showcasing advances in methods for diagnosing circadian rhythm disorders.
• Investigations into new mechanisms influencing the regulation of circadian rhythm.
Through a diverse range of submissions, we hope to broaden our understanding and provide crucial insights within the field of Biological Clock research.
