New role for ancient clock: Study shows direct link between circadian clock in pancreas and diabetes
The pancreas has its own molecular clock. Now, for the first time, a Northwestern University study has shown this ancient circadian clock regulates the production of insulin. If the clock is faulty, the result is diabetes.
