Researchers find how liver cells control biological clock
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
To control their activity according to the time of day, organisms rely on a biological clock known as the 'circadian' clock. A central clock, made up of a collection of brain cells known as suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), synchronises the circadian clocks found in all of the body's organs, kno

Read how mating causes 'jet lag' in female fruit flies
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
An innovative technique from Cornell University researchers discovered that seminal fluid protein which is transferred from male to female fruit flies during mating changes the expression of genes related to the fly's circadian clock.

The human body runs on a finely tuned clock synchronized to the 24-hour cycle of Earth's rotation, known as the circadian clock, which controls various physiological processes such as the sleep-wake cycle, hormone production, and metabolism.

New study explores circadian clock of fruit fly
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The higher the temperatures, the faster physiological processes are. However, there is an exception: the so-called circadian clock, which regulates the sleep-wake cycle in organisms.

Research finds new clues to how circadian clock helps brain in recovering
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 19 (ANI): According to new research from Children's National Hospital, a type of brain cell that can renew itself is regulated by circadian rhythms, providing significant insights into how the body's internal clock may promote healing after traumatic brain injuries

Circadian clocks have substantial impact on formation of fat cells
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 14 (ANI): Disruption of the circadian clocks that keep the body and its cells entrained to the 24-hour day-night cycle plays a critical role in weight gain, according to a pair of studies.

Which gene's loss can affect daily behaviour? Study finds out
Updated : 4 years, 3 months ago IST
Washington [US], November 23 (ANI): Life is organized on a 24-hour schedule. Central to this regular rhythm is the circadian clock, timekeepers that are present in virtually every organ, tissue and cell type. When a clock goes awry, sleep disruption or a variety of diseases can result.

Study finds why asthma worsens at night
Updated : 4 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 11 (ANI): For hundreds of years, people have observed that asthma severity often worsens in the nighttime. One longstanding question has been to what degree the body's internal circadian clock -- as opposed to behaviours, such as sleep and physical activities -- co
