January 2015 in “Journal of Biological Rhythms” This review discusses the role of the circadian clock in skin functions such as cell proliferation and UV protection and reports no new results; the authors note its potential in studying immune regulation and seasonal behaviors.
This study found that activation of delta-opioid receptors in keratinocytes may delay the expression of the PER2 gene, suggesting a possible link to cancer development through circadian rhythm disruption.
