Circadian clocks ensure that we modulate our physiological behaviors, like sleeping and eating, in a rhythmic, 24-hour cycle. They are present in all living cells, from cyanobacteria to humans. The ...

Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with ...

Molecular clocks in our cells synchronize our bodies with the cycle of night and day, cue us for sleep and waking, and drive daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology. Scientists ...

Most biochemical reactions accelerate as temperature increases, but our daily circadian rhythms, which are underlain by gene regulatory and biochemical networks, remain constant, even as temperatures ...

Biological rhythms are ubiquitous in nature, from the beating of the heart to the rhythms of flowering plants. A research team has shown that the two main cellular oscillators -- the circadian clock ...

We've already nudged you this week about the benefits of breakfast. And this got us thinking more about the timing of our meals. There's a growing body of evidence to suggest that when we eat during a ...

All life on Earth has evolved to cope with a rotating planet which results in the predictable transition between day and night. The details differ between plants, fungi, bacteria, and animals, but the ...

It's well known that the human body functions on a 24-hour schedule. The up-and-down daily cycles of a long-studied clock protein called Rev-erb coordinates the ebb and flow of gene expression by ...
