Rewinding the gut clock: from chronodisruption to targeted therapies.

Basic sciencebasic sciencetranslationalmicrobiome
Clinical takeawayNo clinical action yet. This is a review of circadian biology's role in GI disorders. While it discusses emerging strategies like time-restricted feeding, it does not present new clinical trial evidence to guide specific interventions.
What it foundChronodisruption, driven by misaligned light exposure, sleep disturbances, or mistimed eating, increases susceptibility to GI disorders such as IBD, IBS, GORD, and colorectal cancer.
ContextThis review synthesizes emerging evidence on circadian rhythms and GI health, highlighting the potential role of chronodisruption in common GI disorders. It challenges the traditional focus on isolated dietary or pharmacological interventions by emphasizing systemic circadian alignment.
No standard claimed for this paper

Every paper is compared to the standard governing its question. This one is not: either no standard in the corpus matches it, or the comparison did not hold up on review and was withdrawn rather than published unverified. Both are logged.
