Summary
This paper discusses the molecular mechanisms of intercellular coupling among peripheral circadian oscillators, focusing on the role of growth factors in this process and the implications for circadian physiology and pathology.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of circadian rhythms, which are crucial for cognitive function and memory, in maintaining the temporal coordination of biological organ functions.
Hormone regulation: The paper explores the role of growth factors, which are involved in hormone regulation, in the intercellular coupling of peripheral circadian oscillators.
Phototherapy: The paper discusses the entrainment of circadian clocks to the light-dark cycle, a process that is relevant to phototherapy.
Well-being: The paper discusses the implications of disruptions in circadian rhythms for human pathologies, suggesting a link to overall well-being.
