Study shows how shift work may affect fertility
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
According to a study, female mice can be put to shift work-like patterns for only four weeks before their biological clocks are thrown off and their ability to conceive is diminished. The study adds to our understanding of how circadian disruptions affect female fertility and may potentially

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

Researchers explore how age and sex influence our body clocks
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
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.
