Why do animals search for food at specific times of the day? In a study published in Current Biology, a research group led by Prof. Li Yan from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of ...

Researchers led by Gen Kurosawa at the RIKEN Center for Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences (iTHEMS) in Japan have used theoretical physics to discover how our biological clock ...

Stress is not simply a response to acute stressful episodes. It occurs in the brain where a natural rhythmic pattern regulates the stress system of our body, even on a calm day. This rhythmic pattern ...

For at least 3,000 years, humans have known that malaria runs like clockwork, with a devastating fever that peaks, fades and returns on a predictable schedule. The Greek physician Hippocrates observed ...

Cellular energy metabolism also follows the rhythm of the circadian clock. A new study has now shown exactly how this works by revealing the relationship between the circadian rhythm and the ...

A new research paper was published on the cover of Aging titled, "Effects of resveratrol on in vitro circadian clock gene expression in young and older human adipose-derived progenitor cells." ...

Each of the trillions of cells in our bodies has a tiny internal clock. When all of those clocks are synchronized, they tell us when to wake up, burn calories, and go to sleep. But when they lose ...

YOU HAVE TO SLEEP AT THE RIGHT TIME. MINDY: IT IS VERY HARDWIRED. WE FOUND OUT THAT EVERYTHING SLEEPS AND EVERYTHING HAS A CIRCADIAN RHYTHM TOO. IT’S AN INTERNAL CLOCK. OUR BODIES ARE HARD-WIRED BY ...

Humans, like all mammals, partition their daily behaviour into activity (wakefulness) and rest (sleep) phases that differ largely in their metabolic requirements. The circadian clock evolved as an ...
