An international team led by LMU chronobiologists analyses circadian rhythms in microorganisms – and observes mechanisms that are reminiscent of clocks in more complex organisms. Bacteria make up more ...

Pregnant women rely on a balanced diet and supplements to deliver proper nutrients to their babies, to ensure they grow healthfully. Such nutrients contribute to fueling development and providing ...

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 ...

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 ...

AUGUSTA, Ga. (Oct. 22, 2019) - High glucose in obesity appears to gum up the works of the circadian clocks inside our cells that help regulate the timing of many body functions across the 24-hour day ...

Bacteria make up more than 10% of all living things but until recently we had little realization that, as in humans, soil bacteria have internal clocks that synchronize their activities with the ...
