Chronobiology: Relevance for tuberculosis

open access: yes, 2012
Despite the knowledge concerning the pathogenesis of tuberculosis, this disease remains one of the most important causes of mortality worldwide. Several risk factors are well-known, such poverty, HIV infection, and poor nutrition, among others.

Afternoon to early evening bright light exposure reduces later melatonin production in adolescents

open access: yesnpj Biological Timing and Sleep
Whether light exposure during the day reduces non-visual light effects later in the evening has not been studied in adolescents. We investigate whether afternoon-early evening (AEE) light interventions (130 lx, 2500 lx, 4.5 h, compared to 6.5 lx ...

Impact of peripheral circadian misalignment and alcohol on the resiliency of intestinal barrier and microbiota

open access: yesGut Microbes
Circadian organization is involved in many gastrointestinal tract (GIT) functions such as the maintenance of intestinal barrier integrity. There is compelling evidence that perturbation of the circadian clock decreases intestinal epithelial cells ...

Chronobiology and Mood Disorders [PDF]

open access: yesPsikiyatride Güncel Yaklaşımlar, 2011
Living organizms show cyclic rhythmicity in a variety of physiological, hormonal, behavioral, and psychological processes. Sleep-wake cycles, body temperature, hormone levels, mood and cognition display a circadian rhythm in humans.

Molecular Clocks in Translational Roadmap for Circadian‐Based Therapeutics in Lung Diseases

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 10, 31 May 2026.
High‐amplitude circadian oscillations maintain lung immune and epithelial homeostasis. Chronic inflammation dampens peripheral clock amplitude, driving chronodisruption, barrier dysfunction, and remodeling. Clock‐targeted therapies re‐entrain the lung circadian clock, restore rhythmic immune resolution, and promote functional lung repair.

Coupling governs entrainment range of circadian clocks

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2010
Circadian clocks are endogenous oscillators driving daily rhythms in physiology and behavior. Synchronization of these timers to environmental light–dark cycles (‘entrainment’) is crucial for an organism's fitness.

Impact of Varying Sleep Pressure on Daytime Sleep Propensity in Healthy Young and Older Adults

open access: yesClocks & Sleep
Fixed sleep schedules with an 8 h time in bed (TIB) are used to ensure participants are well-rested before laboratory studies. However, such schedules may lead to cumulative excess wakefulness in young individuals.
