A 黑料不打烊-led study shows, for the first time, that circadian clock genes are involved in healing from surgery. Indeed, the researchers demonstrated that<b> </b>anti-inflammatory medications are most effective in promoting post-operative healing and recovery when taken during the active periods of our biological clocks.</p> Tue, 21 Jan 2020 15:26:20 +0000 katherine.gombay@mcgill.ca 197601 at /newsroom Meeting a microbe in the morning or in the evening: is it all the same? /newsroom/channels/news/meeting-microbe-morning-or-evening-it-all-same-270162 <p>Does the time of day matter when our body is infected by a parasite?

Their findings reveal a potential target to treat a range of disorders, from sleep disturbances to other behavioral, cognitive, and metabolic abnormalities, commonly associated with jet lag, shift work and exposure to light at night, as well as with neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression and autism.</p> Mon, 27 Apr 2015 14:34:45 +0000 christopher.chipello@mcgill.ca 22486 at /newsroom Is it possible to reset our biological clocks? /newsroom/channels/news/it-possible-reset-our-biological-clocks-241155 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 20:41:14 +0000 cynthia.lee@mcgill.ca 21917 at /newsroom Putting sleep disorders to bed /newsroom/channels/news/putting-sleep-disorders-bed-229980 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:55:16 +0000 brenda.chang@mail.mcgill.ca 19043 at /newsroom
