A ±«ÓãÖ±²¥-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 15:26:21 +0000 webfull 157518 at /channels /channels/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? According to new research from ±«ÓãÖ±²¥, it matters a great deal.</p> Fri, 08 Sep 2017 14:55:29 +0000 webfull 130930 at /channels /channels/news/putting-sleep-disorders-bed-229980 <p>Overnight flights across the Atlantic, graveyard shifts, stress-induced insomnia are all prime culprits in keeping us from getting a good night’s sleep. Thanks to new research from ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ and Concordia University, however, these common sleep disturbances may one day be put to bed.

Science is not quite there, but recent work by Marc Cuesta, Nicolas Cermakian and <b>Diane B. Boivin</b> from the Douglas Mental Health University Institute and ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ has opened new therapeutic avenues for improving the synchronization of the body's different biological clocks.

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 15:11:38 +0000 webfull 109735 at /channels
