Disruption of cellular timekeeping in cancer: links between circadian clocks, metabolism, and tumor progression.

Disruption of cellular timekeeping systems is a key driver of cancer cell development and progression. The circadian clock is a 24-hour regulatory system that relies on core clock genes - CLOCK, BMAL1, PER, and CRY.
