Cancer research has yielded many new and exciting treatments that improve outcomes by attacking the biochemical processes underlying this serious disease. While melatonin has been used as a treatment for insomnia and other sleep disorders for decades, it may also be a valuable treatment for cancer. New studies suggest that melatonin inhibits tumor growth while […]
What is Chronotherapy?
Chronobiology has increasingly become an important area of medical research, with hundreds of studies pointing to the body’s internal clocks as a factor in both health and disease. Thousands of biochemical processes from sleep and wakefulness to DNA repair are scheduled and dictated by these internal clocks. Because our circadian rhythms are so important to […]
New Research Supports Idea That a Disrupted Circadian Rhythm is Linked to Cancer
The link between cancer and a disrupted circadian rhythm has been accepted by medical scientists for years. A new study in chronobiology published recently confirms this connection while offering new insight into the cellular processes that link the two health issues. Cancer and DNA Cancer is inherently a disease of the DNA. Our genetic code […]
Research Shines Light on Links Between Disrupted Circadian Rhythms and Breast Cancer
Although researchers are still in the dark about why misaligned circadian rhythms can pose such a threat to the long-term well-being of individuals who experience prolonged or recurring disrupted sleep-wake cycles, science is continually showing that it is an important factor in a number of maladies. For women, disrupted circadian rhythms can even result in […]
Skin and the Circadian Rhythm: The Internal Clocks of Skin Cells
Circadian rhythms, or internal 24-hour biological clocks, are the subject of many current research trials. Scientists are only beginning to discover the effects of light and dark cycles on the human body, which comprise a new field of biology called chronobiology. The latest research shows that these internal clocks control not only our moods, energy […]
