Shrimps, flies and other animals shed their outer body covering at specific times of the year or at specific points in their life cycles through a process called molting. Working with worms, FMI ...

Researchers have advanced our understanding of the circadian clock, the biological cycle that synchronizes with light-dark exposure. They recently developed a method to study how the circadian clock ...

Figure 4. Resveratrol increases in vitro rhythmic gene mRNA expression of core clock components in human adipose-derived progenitor cells (APCs) from older participants. “This study reflects ...

Cells with a functioning molecular clock are better able to adapt to changes in glucose supply and can recover faster from long-term starvation, according to a new study. Cells with a functioning ...

This illustration shows how the components of the cyanobacterial circadian clock interact in a 24-hour cycle. (Image credit: Andy LiWang) Daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology are ...

Daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology are driven by biological (or circadian) clocks in our cells. A team of interdisciplinary scientists has now reconstituted the circadian clock ...

Cells with a functioning molecular clock are better able to adapt to changes in glucose supply and can recover faster from long-term starvation, according to a study published today in eLife. The ...
