A Japanese research team has discovered a new compound that can advance the body's internal clock—offering hope for faster ...

Research into genetic mutations that affect circadian rhythms offers new insight into the rest-wake cycle and provides a new model for investigating human disease and ultimately developing medical ...

The activation and inactivation mechanisms of a key protein involved in the circadian clock system of cyanobacteria -- an important organism in the evolution of such internal clocks -- have long ...

Every cell in the human body operates on an intricate internal schedule, governed by circadian rhythms that synchronize our biological processes with the 24-hour cycle of day and night. Coordinated by ...

It has been known for years that the brains of many organisms incorporate a "circadian clock" — a biological time-keeping mechanism that connects the body's rhythms to external light levels. The clock ...
