Abstract:The circadian clock consists of a hierarchical multi-oscillator network of intracellular and intercellular
mechanisms throughout the body that contributes to anticipating metabolic activity and maintaining system

of core clock genes have been associated with cancer risk in several epidemiological studies. A growing
number of epidemiological research studies have demonstrated a direct correlation bet… Show more
