    Abstract

    Circadian Regulation of Liver Function: From Molecular Mechanisms to Disease Pathophysiology

    Scientists cover the molecular, cellular and organismal aspects of various liver pathologies from a circadian viewpoint, and in particular how circadian dysregulation has a role in the development and progression of these diseases.
