A new review by Prof. Oren Froy from Hebrew University and Prof. Yael Weintraub from Schneider Children’s Medical Center and Tel Aviv University explores the connection between the body’s circadian clock and IBD. This research could lead to new and innovative treatments.
IBDs are diseases where the immune system becomes overly active and causes inflammation in the digestive tract. Both the immune system and the digestive system follow natural daily rhythms, which are controlled by the body’s internal circadian clock.
