Researchers from Yale University have recently published their findings of the effect of Circadian rhythm or body clock on the immunity of the body. Circadian rhythm is an endogenous timing system regulating different metabolic activities.

Researchers have suggested that optimized treatment strategies could be developed by considering the circadian rhythm.
