In addition to the sleep–wake cycle and cognitive functions such as learning and memory, intrinsic clocks determine nearly all circadian cycles in physiology, such as daily variation in blood pressure ...

From tiny fruit flies to human beings, all animals on Earth maintain their daily rhythms based on their internal circadian clock. The circadian clock enables organisms to undergo rhythmic changes in ...

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that circadian rhythms—the biological clocks of the body—can ...

Circadian rhythms are inherent cycles of approximately 24 hours that regulate various biological processes, such as sleep and wakefulness. A research group at Nagoya University in Japan has recently ...

The circadian clock plays a key role in coordinating many biological processes, from behaviors to cellular metabolism and mitosis. Disruption of circadian rhythms can increase susceptibility to ...

An innovative temperature-compensation mechanism for oscillating chemical reactions based on temperature-responsive gels has been developed. Experimental findings, alongside a detailed mathematical ...

“Understanding the remodeling that’s going on in the heart at the transcriptional level is pretty fascinating,” said Elizabeth Schroder Stumpf, a physiologist at the University of Kentucky, who was ...

Source: Leslie Korn/ Rhythms of Recovery: Trauma, Nature and the Body PTSD, chronic pain (fibromyalgia), and sleep problems are all characterized by circadian rhythm imbalance. In order to understand ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered a novel mechanism that connects circadian rhythm-controlled cellular metabolism and regeneration with muscle repair after injury, according to ...
