Circadian rhythms: Functional roles of the renal tubular circadian clock

Nature Reviews Nephrology 12, 316 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrneph.2016.60 Author: Ellen F. Carney Circadian rhythms are regulated by a central clock mechanism in the hypothalamus that coordinates subsidiary clocks with cell-specific functions in the peripheral tissues. New data from Dmitri Firsov and colleagues suggest that the circadian clock of renal tubular cells controls various homeostatic and metabolic processes,
