Exploring the uncertain relationship between lunar phases and human sleep duration and quality: A narrative literature review [PDF]
The moon’s influence on human behavior has been the subject of speculation for a large portion of history. A whole host of physiological and psychological disorders were collectively explained away by lunacy or madness until the advent of modern science ...

Production and characterization of CSSI003 (2961) human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) carrying a novel puntiform mutation in RAI1 gene, Causative of Smith–Magenis syndrome [PDF]
Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a complex genetic disorder characterized by developmental delay, behavioural problems and circadian rhythm dysregulation. About 90% of SMS cases are due to a 17p11.2 deletion containing retinoic acid induced1 (RAI1) gene,

Imaging Multidimensional Therapeutically Relevant Circadian Relationships
Circadian clocks gate cellular proliferation and, thereby, therapeutically target availability within proliferative pathways. This temporal coordination occurs within both cancerous and noncancerous proliferating tissues.

Abstract Aims Little is known about how the alignment between daily behaviours, such as physical activity and eating, and chronotype relates to glucose metabolism. We investigated whether alignment of physical activity and meal timing with chronotype was associated with glycaemic parameters and with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

A Conserved Circadian Function for the Neurofibromatosis 1 Gene
Summary: Loss of the Neurofibromatosis 1 (Nf1) protein, neurofibromin, in Drosophila disrupts circadian rhythms of locomotor activity without impairing central clock function, suggesting effects downstream of the clock.

Afternoon to early evening bright light exposure reduces later melatonin production in adolescents
Whether light exposure during the day reduces non-visual light effects later in the evening has not been studied in adolescents. We investigate whether afternoon-early evening (AEE) light interventions (130 lx, 2500 lx, 4.5 h, compared to 6.5 lx ...

Chronobiology and Mood Disorders [PDF]
Living organizms show cyclic rhythmicity in a variety of physiological, hormonal, behavioral, and psychological processes. Sleep-wake cycles, body temperature, hormone levels, mood and cognition display a circadian rhythm in humans.

Impact of Varying Sleep Pressure on Daytime Sleep Propensity in Healthy Young and Older Adults
Fixed sleep schedules with an 8 h time in bed (TIB) are used to ensure participants are well-rested before laboratory studies. However, such schedules may lead to cumulative excess wakefulness in young individuals.
