Hypnotic doses of fazamorexant induced less impairment on balance and cognition than zolpidem in healthy younger and elderly individualse

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Fazamorexant is a dual orexin receptor antagonist being developed for the treatment of insomnia. This study aims to determine the dose‐exposure‐response relationship of single‐dose fazamorexant vs. zolpidem in young adult and elderly healthy Chinese volunteers. Methods This single‐centre, randomized, double‐blind, double‐dummy, placebo‐ and active‐

"Time sweet time": circadian characterization of galectin-1 null mice

Journal of Circadian Rhythms, 2010
Background Recent evidence suggests a two-way interaction between the immune and circadian systems. Circadian control of immune factors, as well as the effect of immunological variables on circadian rhythms, might be key elements in both physiological ...

Identification of novel protein interactors for the circadian regulatory protein Period 2 using bacterial two‐hybrid screening

The FASEB Journal, 2011
Period 2 (Per2) is a core circadian protein that affects multiple biological functions including hormone release and metabolic rate. Disruptions in the expression of Per2 can result in abnormalities in these functions. In this study, we perform a bacterial two‐hybrid screening assay using the C‐terminal region of human Per2 to find novel interactors ...

Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

The Effects of Neurosteroids, such as Pregnenolone Sulfate and its receptor, TrpM3 in the Retina. [PDF]

, 2019
Pregnenolone sulfate (PregS) is the precursor to all steroid hormones and is produced in neurons in an activity dependent manner. Studies have shown that PregS production is upregulated during certain critical periods of development, such as in the first

The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

An evolutionary hotspot defines functional differences between CRYPTOCHROMES

Nature Communications, 2018
The molecular mechanisms that define the periodicity or rate of the circadian clock are not well understood. Here the authors use a multidisciplinary approach and identify a mechanism for period regulation that depends on the affinity of the core clock ...

Timing is everything: Expert opinion on researching epilepsy rhythms by the ILAE Task Force on Chronobiology

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Recurrent seizures, the hallmark of epilepsy, are influenced by rhythms operating over multiple timescales. Chronobiology is the study of biological timing that aims to explain temporal patterns of events like seizures. Fueled by recent advances in genetics, computational modeling, and device engineering, the chronobiology of epilepsy is now a
