Summary
This paper discusses the impact of artificial light at night (ALAN) on circadian rhythms and its potential link to increased incidence of cancer, with a focus on the role of core clock genes in oncogenesis.
Categories
Cancer treatment and prevention: The paper explores the potential link between exposure to artificial light at night and increased incidence of cancer, discussing the role of core clock genes in oncogenesis and the impact of disrupted circadian rhythms on cancer development.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of the molecular circadian clock system and its impact on physiology and behavior, including the regulation of cell cycles and the potential for disruption leading to diseases such as cancer.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the impact of artificial light at night on circadian rhythms, which regulate sleep-wake cycles, and the potential health implications of disrupted rhythms.
Shift work: The paper discusses the impact of shift work, which often involves exposure to artificial light at night, on circadian rhythms and the potential link to increased incidence of cancer.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the impact of artificial light at night on circadian rhythms and the potential health implications, suggesting the need for lighting design considerations to mitigate these effects.
