The immune system is highly time-of-day dependent. Pioneering studies in the 1960s were
the first to identify immune responses to be under a circadian control. Only in the last
decade, however, have the molecular factors governing circadian immune rhythms been
identified. These studies have revealed a highly complex picture of the interconnectivity of
rhythmicity within immune cells with that of their environment. Here, we provide a global
