Research team reveals what drives the circadian rhythms in cyanobacteria. Scientists want to increase their understanding of circadian rhythms, those internal 24-hour biological clock cycles…
Ability of immune system to destroy Alzheimer’s-related protein oscillates with daily circadian rhythm. The brain’s ability to clear a protein closely linked to Alzheimer’s disease…
The findings provide a mechanism that links Alzheimer’s disease with circadian rhythm disruptions. Researchers report that the immune cells responsible for clearing away a key…
Disrupting circadian rhythms, which change naturally on a 24-hour cycle, has been implicated in heart disease, but it is unclear how it leads to the…
A small clinical trial supported by the National Institutes of Health has found that eating during the nighttime—like many shift workers do—can increase glucose levels,…
