A new way to beat jet lag? Engineered cells speed circadian adjustment

A peer-reviewed preclinical study reports that encapsulated leptin-producing cells can accelerate circadian realignment after a time-zone/work-schedule shift. The findings are in preclinical models and do not indicate human efficacy, but they suggest a potentially faster therapeutic pathway for circadian misalignment.
