Discover why cultures worldwide embrace afternoon naps and how brief midday rest can boost creativity, focus, and overall ...

It's tempting to think that, with our fancy electric lights and indoor bedrooms, humanity has evolved beyond the natural ...

To better understand the circadian clock in modern-day cyanobacteria, a Japanese research team has studied ancient ...

Circadian rhythms in mammals rely on cell-autonomous molecular clocks that operate in many tissues and organs. New research in The EMBO Journal quantifies the expression dynamics, distribution, ...

To better understand the circadian clock in modern-day cyanobacteria, a research team has studied ancient timekeeping systems. They examined the oscillation of the clock proteins KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC ...

Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on aging, according to new research. A study published in Proceedings of the National ...

The daily light–dark cycle affects many aspects of normal physiology through the activity of circadian clocks. It emerges that the pancreas has a clock of its own, which responds to energy ...

It’s tempting to think that, with our fancy electric lights and indoor bedrooms, humanity has evolved beyond the natural influence of sunlight when it comes to our sleep routines.

Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on aging, according to the results of a preclinical study carried out by Jeffrey Kelu ...
