Aging is an inevitable part of life, yet some species are aging very differently than others, even than very similar ones.
Researchers at UW Medicine have decoded what makes good lighting—lighting capable of stimulating the cone photoreceptor inputs to specific neurons in the eye that regulate circadian rhythms.
Although plants don't sleep in the same way humans do, they have circadian rhythms—internal clocks that, like our own internal clocks, tell them when it's night and when it's day. And like many people, plants are less active ...
A group of University of Chicago scientists has uncovered a previously unknown way that our genes are made into reality.
During the years 1976 through 1980, 15% of U.S. adults were obese. Today, about 40% of adults are obese. Another 33% are overweight.
