Circadian Clock Gene Modulation and Selective Reprogramming in Response to Virus Infection

Nicole Rivera-Espinal, Emna Achouri, Matthew Hackbart…·Carolina B. López

This study shows that viral replication byproducts called cbVGs drive changes in circadian gene expression during infection through distinct immune pathways, with ARNTL2 playing a key role in amplifying antiviral responses.

Daily glucocorticoids promote glioblastoma growth and circadian synchrony to the host

Maria F. Gonzalez-Aponte, Anna R. Damato, Tatiana Simon…·Erik D. Herzog

This study shows that daily glucocorticoids influence glioblastoma growth and circadian synchronization with the host, with effects dependent on timing and clock genes.
