Opposite Carcinogenic Effects of Circadian Clock Gene BMAL1

Abstract The circadian clock confers daily rhythmicity on many biochemical and physiological functions and its disruption is associated with increased risks of developing obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Although, there are studies on the role of Bmal1 in carcinogenesis using germline, c...
