Circadian clocks, the biochemical oscillators that are controlled by the day–night cycle, have a central role in many biological processes. The mechanism underlying the earliest form of such ...

The mammalian circadian clock consists of a transcription–translation feedback loop (TTFL) composed of CLOCK–BMAL1 transcriptional activators and CRY–PER transcriptional repressors. Previous work ...

Why do animals search for food at specific times of the day? In a study published in Current Biology, a research group led by ...

Aichi, Japan--Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS)/SOKENDAI and Kyushu University have uncovered the molecular mechanism that drives the "ticking" of the circadian clock in ...

Cyanobacteria, an ancient lineage of bacteria that perform photosynthesis, have been found to regulate their genes using the same physics principle used in AM radio transmission. Cyanobacteria, an ...

You’ve doubtless seen those ubiquitous clock modules, especially when setting clocks for daylight savings time. You know the ones: a single AA battery, a wheel to set the time, and two or three hands ...

Safety and efficacy of iparomlimab and tuvonralimab in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin as first-line treatment for patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A ...

Are you an early bird or a night owl? The tendency to rise early or sleep late is determined by our circadian clock, which is ...

Fresh research about ripples in the fabric of spacetime suggests a nearly 2,000-year-old cosmic calculator followed the lunar calendar instead of the solar one. The hand-powered "Antikythera mechanism ...

The Council gave its final green light today on one of the Commission’s proposals to simplify EU rules and thus boost EU competitiveness. This proposal (the so-called ‘Stop-the-clock’ directive) ...
