…could be developed using pharmacological agents that target the biological clock machinery. That’s because tumorigenesis, the process of turning normal cells into cancer cells, disrupts normal circadian rhythms, he said. In addition, the machinery controlling the biological clock controls several biochemical pathways that are altered during tumorigenesis. Other scientists presented…
