The reconstituted biological clock maintains daily cycles for days on end, allowing researchers to study the interactions of its component parts. Daily cycles in virtually…
For humans and animals, many aspects of normal behavior and physiology rely on the proper functioning of the body’s circadian clocks. Here’s how it’s supposed…
When rats are fed a high fat diet, this disturbs the body clock in their brain that normally controls satiety, leading to over-eating and obesity….
Eating milk chocolate every day may sound like a recipe for weight gain, but a new study of postmenopausal women has found that eating a…
People whose sleep pattern goes against their natural body clock are more likely to have depression and lower levels of wellbeing, according to a largescale…
Waking up just one hour earlier could reduce a person’s risk of major depression by 23%, suggests a sweeping new genetic study published on May…
The biological clock is present in almost all cells of an organism. As more and more evidence emerges that clocks in certain organs could be…
Researchers led by a team at Kanazawa University report that vasopressin neurons in the brain’s circadian rhythm control center are critical for regulating the timing…
Waste clearance is crucial for brain health, preventing neurodegenerative disease. A new Northwestern University study reaffirms the importance of getting a good night’s sleep. By…
Understanding the complex network of genes controlling sleep cycles in people, animals, plants can lead to advances in human health, crop production. How body clocks…
The findings could lead to the development of new therapies for sleep disorders caused by stress or a disturbed circadian rhythm. A Nagoya University-led research…
Plants have a metabolic signal that adjusts their circadian clock in the evening to ensure they store enough energy to survive the night, a new…
The more variation in wake-up time and sleep time, the worse mood and more chance of depression symptoms in study of first-year medical residents. An…
For centuries, humans have blamed the moon for our moods, accidents, and even natural disasters. But new research indicates that our planet’s celestial companion impacts…
An analysis of an exhaustive dataset on cells essential to the mammalian immune system shows that our ability to fight disease may rely more heavily…
KAIST mathematicians and their collaborators at Florida State University have identified the principle of how aging and diseases like dementia and obesity cause sleep disorders….
For the first time, scientists have studied the early effects of time-restricted feeding on the daily periodic oscillations of metabolites and genes in muscle, and…
