Unlocking complex workings of the biological clock
Scientists want to increase their understanding of circadian rhythms, those internal 24-hour biological clock cycles of sleeping and waking that occur in organisms, ranging from humans to plants to fungi to bacteria. A research ...

Glowing, blinking bacteria reveal how cells synchronize biological clocks
Biologists have long known that organisms from bacteria to humans use the 24 hour cycle of light and darkness to set their biological clocks. But exactly how these clocks are synchronized at the molecular level to perform ...

Scientists show proteins critical in day-night cycles also protect cells from mutations
A good night's sleep does more than prevent yawning. New research from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) shows that two proteins critical for maintaining healthy day-night cycles also protect against mutations that could ...

Circadian rhythms studies reveal new temperature regulator and track clock protein across a day
Dartmouth Medical School geneticists have made new inroads into understanding the regulatory circuitry of the biological clock that synchronizes the ebb and flow of daily activities, according to two studies published May ...

Healing by the clock: In fruit flies, intestinal stem-cell regeneration fluctuates with the time of day
Circadian rhythms keep time for all living things, from regulating when plants open their flowers to foiling people when they try to beat jet lag. Day-night cycles are controlled through ancient biological mechanisms, evolutionarily ...

Researchers determine key element in circadian clock speed
In a discovery that may lead to new treatments for sleep disorders, jet lag and other health problems tied to circadian rhythms, researchers at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine have identified a determinant of the circadian ...

What makes circadian clocks tick?
Circadian clocks are found within microbes and bacteria, plants and insects, animals and humans. These clocks arose as an adaptation to dramatic swings in daylight hours and temperature caused by the Earth's rotation. But ...

Researchers uncover new mechanisms regulating plant response to temperature
Have you ever wondered why you get tired when the sun goes down? Why some flower petals open during the day and close at night? Or even how monarch butterflies know when to migrate south? Life on Earth has evolved to predict ...
