BMAL1 and CLOCK influencing hepatocellular carcinoma — Caption

Pictured is an artist’s rendering of circadian clock proteins BMAL1 and CLOCK influencing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell proliferation. The study shows that in humans, HCC cells rely on BMAL1 and CLOCK for sustained cell growth. Targeting clock proteins provides a new pathway to develop novel cancer therapies.
