Circadian Clocks and Pregnancy [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014 The recognition that 24-h rhythmic processes (“circadian”) underlie many endocrine functions has added a fascinating new temporal dimension to our appreciation of their complexity. Research from various laboratories has revealed circadian gene expression in multiple tissues in the reproductive system of non-pregnant and pregnant mammals.

Circadian rhythms and hormonal homeostasis: Pathophysiological implications [PDF]
, 2017 Over recent years, a deeper comprehension of the molecular mechanisms that control biological clocks and circadian rhythms has been achieved. In fact, many studies have contributed to unravelling the importance of the molecular clock for the regulation ...

Splice variants of DOMINO control Drosophila circadian behavior and pacemaker neuron maintenance. [PDF]
, 2019 Circadian clocks control daily rhythms in behavior and physiology. In Drosophila, the small ventral lateral neurons (sLNvs) expressing PIGMENT DISPERSING FACTOR (PDF) are the master pacemaker neurons generating locomotor rhythms.

Disrupted circadian clocks and altered tissue mechanics in primary human breast tumours
Breast Cancer Research, 2018 Background Circadian rhythms maintain tissue homeostasis during the 24-h day-night cycle. Cell-autonomous circadian clocks play fundamental roles in cell division, DNA damage responses and metabolism.

In Synch but Not in Step: Circadian Clock Circuits Regulating Plasticity in Daily Rhythms [PDF]
, 2016 The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is a network of neural oscillators that program daily rhythms in mammalian behavior and physiology. Over the last decade much has been learned about how SCN clock neurons coordinate together in time and space to form a ...

Light and circadian regulation of clock components aids flexible responses to environmental signals [PDF]
, 2014 The circadian clock measures time across a 24h period, increasing fitness by phasing biological processes to the most appropriate time of day. The interlocking feedback loop mechanism of the clock is conserved across species; however, the number of loops

Circadian Rhythms in Urinary Functions: Possible Roles of Circadian Clocks? [PDF]
International Neurourology Journal, 2011 Circadian clocks are the endogenous oscillators that harmonize a variety of physiological processes within the body. Although many urinary functions exhibit clear daily or circadian variation in diurnal humans and nocturnal rodents, the precise ...

Clock at the Core of Cancer Development
Biology, 2021 To synchronize various biological processes with the day and night cycle, most organisms have developed circadian clocks. This evolutionarily conserved system is important in the temporal regulation of behavior, physiology and metabolism.

Shell Neurons of the Master Circadian Clock Coordinate the Phase of Tissue Clocks Throughout the Brain and Body [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Daily rhythms in mammals are programmed by a master clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The SCN contains two main compartments (shell and core), but the role of each region in system-level coordination remains ill defined.
