A new study reveals how the production of p75NTR protein oscillates in time with the body's natural circadian rhythm and how these oscillations help regulate vital metabolic functions. The findings offer an insight into how circadian rhythm helps maintain the body's overall metabolic health.
Researchers have identified how the circadian clock helps prime mitochondria to correctly use stored energy when we are not eating.
VIP, a molecule which desynchronizes the cells in the biological clock help also helps the circadian clock adjust more quickly to abrupt shifts in light/dark schedules.
Researchers discover the expression of certain clock genes plays a critical role in delaying the emergence of age-related signs in the brain.
A new study reports smoking disrupts the circadian rhythm in both the brain and lungs.
Researchers discover the switch in the brain which helps promote sleep.
Researchers discover how LNvs neurons synchronize at specific times to help regulate circadian rhythm.
According to a new study, a hormone which helps keep us alert also suppresses the spread of cancer.
Researchers report correct coordination between our circadian clock and gut bacteria could be critical for preventing metabolic diseases.
A new study proposes later start times for middle and high school student to accommodate changes to teenage circadian rhythm.
A new study provides fresh insight into how local circadian clocks can control sleep and wakefulness.
Researchers identify a brain area which disrupts memory when the circadian rhythm is altered.
