Opening new doors for the development of nanotechnologies in medicine and other fields, scientists recreate and compare two natural mechanisms to better program the timescale of molecular ...

The human body clock is the curse of any shift worker or traveler arriving in a new time zone. Although one's body clock can be adjusted by external cues, such as light – a factor that devices such as ...

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism that governs how body clocks react to changes in the environment. The discovery could provide a solution for alleviating the detrimental effects of chronic ...

The circadian clock in cyanobacteria represents one of the most elegant and thoroughly studied biological timekeeping systems. This oscillator is principally driven by the concerted actions of Kai ...

Living organisms, from plants to fungi to animals, have a circadian rhythm – a 24 hour cycle of physiological events. New findings have elucidated more about how these natural clocks are related to ...

Living organisms monitor time – and react to it – in many different ways, from detecting light and sound in microseconds to responding physiologically in pre-programmed ways, via their daily sleep ...
