A large England study found fewer NHS visits for sleep, heart, and mental health issues after clocks moved back in autumn.

Molecular clocks in our cells synchronize our bodies with the cycle of night and day, cue us for sleep and waking, and drive daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology. Scientists ...

A time-lapse movie of a WT cyanobacteria strain in a Green Mother Machine. The strain expresses a pkaiBC:eYFP:fsLVA transcriptional reporter (shown in green), which displays circadian oscillations.

It is an interesting question why the internal clock runs almost unchanged at the same rate despite fluctuating temperatures. A team has now found an piece of the puzzle to answer this question. The ...
