Most biochemical reactions accelerate as temperature increases, but our daily circadian rhythms, which are underlain by gene regulatory and biochemical networks, remain constant, even as temperatures ...

The digestive system’s rhythms are controlled by body clock genes, as well as lesser-known regulators called noncanonical clock regulators. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine aimed to ...

As sunlight filters through your window each morning, a quiet, powerful rhythm pulses inside your body. This inner clock tells you when to sleep, eat, and wake. It keeps pace with the 24-hour cycle of ...

Our bodies follow a natural 24-hour cycle known as the circadian rhythm that influences everything from sleep to metabolism. While scientists have long known that certain core circadian clock genes ...

The body's internal clock doesn't just dictate when we sleep -- it also determines how quickly our muscles heal. A new study in mice suggests that muscle injuries heal faster when they occur during ...

Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with light and dark exposure. Disruptions in the rhythms of these clocks, as with ...

Some people check a wristwatch; others use a smartphone app or the position of the sun. But although these methods will tell you what time it is, they won’t reveal your internal time – that is, the ...

Scientists have solved how circadian clocks within cyanobacteria, tiny organisms also known as blue-green algae, are able to precisely control when different genes are turned on and off during the ...

Your heart's beat isn't its only pulse, scientists have discovered. The heart's genes -- and the liver's, too -- have rhythms of their own. Every animal has built-in biological clocks that keep the ...
