The mammalian circadian clock gene Per2 modulates cell death in response to oxidative stress
Living in the earth’s oxygenated environment forced organisms to develop strategies to cope with the damaging effects of molecular oxygen known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here we show that Per2, a molecular component of the mammalian circadian clock, is involved in regulating a cell’s respons...
