Article Abstract

A molecular network that mimics circadian clocks from cyanobacteria is constructed in silico. Simulating its oscillatory behaviour under variable conditions reveals its robustness relative to networks of alternative topologies. The principles for synthetic chemical circadian networks to work properly are consequently highlighted.

Introduction: Night Eating Syndrome (NES) is a distinct psychopathological entity variously considered as a mental health disorder, eating disorder or circadian rhythm disorder. Medical students are faced with hectic schedules, sleep interruptions and high-stakes exams as they become healthcare providers. Such social factors coupled with poor dietary practices may impact their mental health and biological clocks, leading to NES amongst this population.

The molecular clock exhibits distinct characteristics across various tissues and can be synchronized by particular stimuli. Furthermore, there is an intricate interplay among the molecular clocks within different tissues. In this context, we present an overview of the tissue-specific molecular clock and discuss pivotal nonphotic regulators that govern the host's circadian rhythms and metabolic processes.

In many model organisms, the circadian system has been proposed to comprise multiple oscillators that interact to promote accuracy of the clock as well as intricacies of rhythmic outputs. In Neurospora crassa, the circadian transcriptional/translational loop comprising of the FRQ (Frequency) and WCC (White Collar Complex) proteins has been instrumental in explaining many attributes of the clock including entrainment and rhythms in development and gene expression; in addition, some non-circadian oscillations can be unmasked when the FRQ-WCC feedback loop is eliminated. These rhythms have often lost defining circadian characteristics and are potentially controlled by other oscillators, termed FRQ-less oscillators (FLOs) in Neurospora.

Aim: Autoimmune diseases, characterized by the immune system mistakenly attacking the body's own tissues, are a growing global concern, with increasing prevalence. The circadian clock is a fundamental regulator of physiological processes, critically modulating immune functions. This review explores the intricate connections between circadian rhythms and immune responses in autoimmune pathogenesis and how disruptions exacerbate disease.
