Abstract

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) involve relapsing–remitting immune activation and inflammation. Both immune system activity and digestive tract function exhibit diurnal variations, regulated by the circadian clock. Disruption of this clock is linked to inflammation, suggesting that circadian regulators may play a pivotal role in the inflammatory process of IBD.
