En nuestra sociedad moderna, la luz artificial y la reestructuración de los horarios de trabajo nos han apartado progresivamente del ciclo natural de luz y oscuridad, provocando la alteración de los ritmos biológicos que poseen una oscilación cercana a un día (circadianos). Numerosos estudios dem...

In our modern society, artificial light and the re-structuring the work times has progressively detached us from natural cycle of light and dark, resulting in disruption of the biological rhythms that have an oscillation close to a day (circadian rhythms). A growing body of evidence demonstrate t...

Other than surgery, radiotherapy is the standard treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC). Conventional protocol consists of administering high doses (≥ 2 Gy) of ionizing radiation (IR), which is associated with several side effects. Intriguingly, cell death induction after exposure to low-dose IR (...
