Research into genetic mutations that affect circadian rhythms offers new insight into the rest-wake cycle and provides a new model for investigating human disease and ultimately developing medical ...

The activation and inactivation mechanisms of a key protein involved in the circadian clock system of cyanobacteria -- an important organism in the evolution of such internal clocks -- have long ...

Every cell in the human body operates on an intricate internal schedule, governed by circadian rhythms that synchronize our biological processes with the 24-hour cycle of day and night. Coordinated by ...

A research collaboration between the Faculty of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at the University of Oulu, Finland, the University of Innsbruck, Austria, and Florida Tech, USA, explored the ...

It has been known for years that the brains of many organisms incorporate a "circadian clock" — a biological time-keeping mechanism that connects the body's rhythms to external light levels. The clock ...

Weizmann Institute molecular geneticist discovers what makes humans ‘tick’ and causes disruptions during menstruation, ...

New research in mice has found that the immune system does not respond equally well at different times of the day. This suggests that the body clock may influence mechanisms related to immunity. Share ...
