Contents Part I. Molecular and cellular basis of circadian clocks. Molecular components of the mammalian circadian clock. The epigenetic language of circadian clocks. Peripheral circadian oscillators in mammals. Cellular mechanisms of circadian pacemaking: beyond transcriptional loops. The clock in the brain: Neurons, glia and networks in daily rhythms -- Part II. Circadian control of physiology and behavior. Circadian clocks and metabolism. The circadian control of sleep. Daily regulation of hormone profiles. Circadian clocks and mood-related behaviors. Part III. Chronopharmacology and chronotherapy. Molecular Clocks in Pharmacology. Cancer chronotherapeutics: Experimental, theoretical and clinical aspects. Pharmacological modulators of the circadian clock as potential therapeutic drugs: Focus on genotoxic/anticancer therapy. Light and the human circadian clock -- Part IV.
