Findings show that after receiving radiation to the heart, mice with disrupted biological clocks had significantly worse heart function than controls. They also demonstrated that Bmal1 &#8212; a protein that drives 24-hour rhythms in the expression of many genes &#8212; plays an important role in protecting the heart from radiation-related damage.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2020\/01\/200113153304.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Biological clock is key to reducing heart damage from radiation therapy<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ScienceDaily&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study suggests that the biological clock is involved in heart toxicity from radiation therapy and could be harnessed as part of a preventive strategy.
