The digestive system’s rhythms are controlled by body clock genes, as well as lesser-known regulators called noncanonical clock regulators. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine aimed to ...
Your heart's beat isn't its only pulse, scientists have discovered. The heart's genes -- and the liver's, too -- have rhythms of their own. Every animal has built-in biological clocks that keep the ...
Researchers led by Gen Kurosawa at the RIKEN Center for Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences (iTHEMS) in Japan have used theoretical physics to discover how our biological clock ...
The body's internal clock doesn't just dictate when we sleep -- it also determines how quickly our muscles heal. A new study in mice suggests that muscle injuries heal faster when they occur during ...
Our bodies follow a natural 24-hour cycle known as the circadian rhythm that influences everything from sleep to metabolism. While scientists have long known that certain core circadian clock genes ...
