Spooky Birds and Origin of Life: A Quantum Mechanics Description of Bird Migration
Jurnal Pendidikan Fisika Indonesia, 2019 In this work we explain a strange quantum phenomenon in biology that the European Robin uses to navigate. The bird’s brain contains a chemical called cryptochromes which has two of its electrons entangled through collision with photons.

Light and temperature receptors and their convergence in plants
Biologia Plantarum, 2020 Light and temperature are two essential environmental cues for plants, helping to optimize plant body architecture and physiology. To sense a broad spectrum of sun radiation spanning from UV-B to far-red wavelength, plants are equipped with a ...

Light entrained rhythmic gene expression in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis: the evolution of the animal circadian clock. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundCircadian rhythms in behavior and physiology are the observable phenotypes from cycles in expression of, interactions between, and degradation of the underlying molecular components.

GmBICs Modulate Low Blue Light-Induced Stem Elongation in Soybean
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Blue-light inhibitors of cryptochromes (BICs) promote hypocotyl elongation by suppressing the activity of cryptochromes in Arabidopsis. Nevertheless, the roles of BICs in other plant species are still unclear.

Supplemental blue and red light promote lycopene synthesis in tomato fruits
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2019 Lycopene, one of the strongest natural antioxidants known and the main carotene in ripe tomato, is very important for human health. Light is well known to be one of the most important environmental stimuli influencing lycopene biosynthesis; specifically,

UV Radiation in DNA Damage and Repair Involving DNA-Photolyases and Cryptochromes
Biomedicines, 2021 Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation on human skin can lead to mutations in DNA, photoaging, suppression of the immune system, and other damage up to skin cancer (melanoma, basal cell, and squamous cell carcinoma).

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The dFoCC pipeline starts with observed DED and resting‐state coordinates, which are then used to generate a library of triggered states. Correlation analysis of the calculated DED features of each candidate vs observed DED permits quantitative evaluation of candidate structural quality.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This diagram illustrates that night shift work disrupts circadian clock genes (like CLOCK, BMAL1) in both humans and mice. This disruption leads to mitochondrial dysfunction (imbalanced fusion/fission proteins) and increased oxidative stress, which is identified as the primary mechanism ultimately causing elevated blood pressure.
