Pancreatic cancer cells may have disrupted internal clocks that help to drive their spread. The discovery could pave the way for novel treatments for the condition, which has a five-year survival rate of just 11 per cent in the US.
Nearly every cell in our body contains molecular clocks that allow them to carry out biological processes in regular 24-hour cycles, known as circadian rhythms. These clocks are partly set by changes in light across days and nights.
