Circadian clock genes oscillate in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Abstract excerpt

In mammals, it is well documented that observable circadian rhythms are controlled by a central oscillator that is organized in transcriptional and translational feedback loops involving several clock genes. Although recent studies have demonstrated that clock genes oscillate in many peripheral tissues, their characteristics in the human immune system remain unknown. The present study investigates whether...
