Plants harness an internal circadian clock to synchronise myriad physiological processes with the daily cycle of light and darkness. At its core, this system comprises interlocking ...

Almost all living things have an internal 24-hour clock that remains accurate regardless of temperature or other ...

New research has uncovered how a simple circadian clock network demonstrates advanced noise-filtering capabilities, enhancing our understanding of how biological circuits maintain accuracy in dynamic ...

As anticipation builds for the longer days that follow this weekend's switch to daylight savings time, the moment seemed ...

Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS)/SOKENDAI and Kyushu University have uncovered the molecular mechanism that drives the "ticking" of the circadian clock in cyanobacteria.

To better understand the circadian clock in modern-day cyanobacteria, a research team has studied ancient timekeeping systems. They examined the oscillation of the clock proteins KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC ...

Scientists have solved how circadian clocks within cyanobacteria, tiny organisms also known as blue-green algae, are able to precisely control when different genes are turned on and off during the ...

The body's internal clock doesn't just dictate when we sleep -- it also determines how quickly our muscles heal. A new study in mice suggests that muscle injuries heal faster when they occur during ...

For years, I was an inveterate early morning exerciser — the kind of person you'd spot trudging into the gym just after the doors were unlocked or running through the neighborhood when the coffee ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists led by Joseph Bass, MD, Ph.D., the Charles F. Kettering Professor of Endocrinology and Metabolism and director of the Center for Diabetes and Metabolism, have ...
