The circadian clock in cyanobacteria represents one of the most elegant and thoroughly studied biological timekeeping systems. This oscillator is principally driven by the concerted actions of Kai ...

WINTHROP, N.Y. – Above an auto garage in this town near the Canadian border, there is a large gilt clock dial from a different era. Behind its facade, there lies a clock mechanism comprising an ...

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 ...

The activation and inactivation mechanisms of a key protein involved in the circadian clock system of cyanobacteria -- an important organism in the evolution of such internal clocks -- have long ...

In a new study, Japanese structural biologists from the National Institutes of Natural Sciences in Okazaki, Japan, and their collaborators from SOKENDAI, Nagoya, and Osaka Universities, tackled the ...

Most organisms on Earth have circadian clocks. In mammals, the circadian pacemaker is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain. The SCN consists of about 20,000 neurons, and ...

In this video, I’ll show you how to create a clock mechanism template from 5 mm plexiglass using the X-Tool P2 laser, step by ...

A new study of molecular interactions central to the functioning of biological clocks explains how certain mutations can shorten clock timing, making some people extreme “morning larks” because their ...

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism that governs how body clocks react to changes in the environment. The discovery could provide a solution for alleviating the detrimental effects of chronic ...
