Biological Clocks and Rhythms in Polar Organisms [PDF]
, 2020 Biological clocks are universal to all living organisms on Earth. Their ubiquity is testament to their importance to life: from cells to organs and from the simplest cyanobacteria to plants and primates, they are central to orchestrating life on this ...

Biological clocks in theory and experiments [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2005 Eukaryotes and some prokaryotes have adapted to the 24 h day/night cycle by evolving circadian clocks. The circadian clock now controls 24-hour rhythms in very many aspects of metabolism, physiology and behaviour.

eLife, 2023 The evolutionary trajectories and genetic architectures underlying ecological divergence with gene flow are poorly understood. Sympatric timing types of the intertidal insect Clunio marinus (Diptera) from Roscoff (France) differ in lunar reproductive ...

iScience, 2021 Summary: The vrille (vri) gene encodes a transcriptional repressor required for Drosophila development as well as circadian behavior in adults. Alternate first exons produce vri transcripts predicted to produce a short VRI isoform during development and ...

Cryptochrome 1 mediates light-dependent inclination magnetosensing in monarch butterflies
Nature Communications, 2021 Exactly how some animals use magnetic fields to navigate is a longstanding puzzle. A study using a new behavioural assay and transgenic butterflies finds the cryptochrome gene necessary for inclination-based magnetic sensing, and shows that both antennae

Understanding neuron-glia crosstalk and biological clocks in insomnia.
Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2023 According to the World Health Organization, about one-third of the population experiences insomnia symptoms, and about 10-15% suffer from chronic insomnia, the most common sleep disorder. Sleeping difficulties associated with insomnia are often linked to

Towards the discovery of novel molecular clocks in Prokaryotes [PDF]
, 2023 Diel cycle is of enormous biological importance as it imposes daily oscillation in environmental conditions, which temporally structures most ecosystems. Organisms developed biological time-keeping mechanisms –

Light at night disrupts biological clocks, calendars, and immune function
Seminars in Immunopathology, 2021 Light at night is a pervasive problem in our society; over 80% of the world’s population experiences significant light pollution. Exacerbating this issue is the reality that artificially lit outdoor areas are growing by 2.2% per year and continuously lit

Neurodegeneration, memory loss, and dementia: the impact of biological clocks and circadian rhythm
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2021 Introduction: Dementia and cognitive loss impact a significant proportion of the global population and present almost insurmountable challenges for treatment since they stem from multifactorial etiologies.
