This reminded me that I sent a note about this study on brain tumors and circadian rhythms to Dr. Liau a few years ago, (I didn’t have access) and she replied that she was interested.
Alterations to the circadian clock make brain tumours vulnerable
nature NEWS AND VIEWS | 14 October 2019
The body’s circadian clock ensures the rhythmic expression of some genes across the day. The catalogue of genes under circadian control changes in an aggressive brain cancer — a discovery that might open up a new avenue for treatment.

All organisms have an internal circadian clock, which ensures that physiological functions occur at the right time of day — for instance, that the intestine, pancreas and liver are ready to metabolize food when you eat rather than when you are sleeping. Writing in Cancer Discovery, Dong et al.1 report that the cells responsible for initiating a specific type of aggressive brain tumour, glioblastoma, rely on an altered circadian clock to grow. What’s more, drug-based inhibition of the cells’ molecular clock can kill them.
