Deskripsi

Circadian controls of immune responses by the molecular clock have been reported, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here the authors show that the master circadian gene, Bmal1, is essential for modulating the homeostasis of myeloid cells to control pro-inflammatory IL-17+/IFN-γ+ T cells in autoimmunity.
