The immune response varies greatly, depending on the time of day a parasitic infection occurs, a new study reports. Researchers note infections that occur early at night were more successful as this is a time when the immune response is strongest. Parasitic infection thrives when it is able to elicit a strong immune response.
A new study offers insight into how the circadian clock runs and provides new understanding on disorders associated with circadian rhythm disruptions.
According to a Cell Reports study, mice with abnormal eating schedules are more likely to develop skin cancer cells. Researchers report abnormal eating times disrupt the skin's circadian cycle and weakens the potency of an enzyme that protects against UV rays.
Researchers have discovered a protein in the brain that responds to darkness and light to set the correct balance between sleep and wakefulness.
Changing the circadian clock in the liver of mice alters the way the body responds to diet and also changes the gut microbiota, a new study reports.
Researchers have discovered a group of neurons in the retina that affect circadian rhythm by sending signals to the SCN.
A new study reveals those with the 'night owl' variant of the CRY1 gene have longer circadian cycles than other people, making them stay awake for longer at night.
A new study reveals astrocytes play an surprisingly important role in the body's circadian clock.
Going camping, especially during the Winter months, can have a profoundly positive impact on our circadian rhythm, a new study reports.
Early risers take less time to complete memory related tasks than night owls, but tend to make more mistakes, a new study reports.
Later high school start times are associated with reduced motor vehicle accidents and less daytime sleepiness for teens, study reports.
Study exposes a new dynamic between the mammalian organism and the microbes that live inside their gut.
