Ageing is a complex, multifactorial phenomenon. The existence of biologic rhythms as well as the study of their modifications or their alteration in the aged are useful and pertinent to understand the biologic age. These modifications, if any, may be interpreted as a change in the adaptability of aged subjects to environmental factors. The loss or decrease of adaptation capacity with ageing is worth quantifying. This paper rounds up the question.

The chronotype, the personal predisposition towards morning or evening activities, significantly influences health conditions, sleep, and eating regulations. Individuals with evening chronotypes are often at a higher risk for weight gain due to misalignment between their natural tendencies of functioning and social schedules, resulting in insufficient sleep, disruptions in eating habits, and decreased physical activity levels. Often, impaired glucose tolerance and changes in melatonin, adiponectin, and leptin secretion, along with alterations in the clock gene functions in subjects with evening preferences, may be predisposed to obesity.

The abundance and behaviour of all hematopoietic components display daily oscillations, supporting the involvement of circadian clock mechanisms. The daily variations of immune cell functions, such as trafficking between blood and tissues, differentiation, proliferation, and effector capabilities are regulated by complex intrinsic (cell-based) and extrinsic (neuro-hormonal, organism-based) mechanisms. While the role of the transcriptional/translational molecular machinery, driven by a set of well-conserved genes (Clock genes), in nucleated immune cells is increasingly recognized and understood, the presence of non-transcriptional mechanisms remains almost entirely unexplored.

The circadian clock, a fundamental cellular mechanism, regulates the rhythmic expression of numerous genes and biological processes across various organs. Disruptions in this system, driven by genetic or environmental factors, have been reported to be involved in cancer progression. This review explores the role of the circadian clock in cancer hallmarks and its impact on cellular homeostasis within haematological malignancies.

Background: In our previous studies, we investigated the right-left asymmetry (RLA) of cerebral tissue oxygenation (StO) at rest in humans and the influence of the individual chronotype (i.e. individual chronobiological disposition) on StO.

Article Synopsis
- Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication lacking standardized diagnostic criteria and is linked to various health issues for both mothers and newborns.
- The study aimed to see if analyzing glucose patterns in relation to biological rhythms (chronobiology) could help identify pregnant patients at risk for complications.
- Findings suggest that using specific chronobiological metrics can improve predictions of adverse outcomes in mothers and their babies, potentially leading to better risk management in pregnancies affected by GDM.
