We all feel the ebb and flow of daily life, the daily rhythms that shape our days. The most basic daily rhythm we live by is the sleep-wake cycle, which (for most) is related to the cycle of the sun.

Scientists have identified a molecule that may govern how the circadian clock in plants responds to environmental changes. The researchers have discovered that a signaling molecule, known to be ...

Taken together, these data demonstrate that BMAL1 acetylation facilitates CRY1 interaction with the CLOCK–BMAL1 complex. Acetylation of proteins is an essential regulatory mechanism, having both ...

Researchers have identified how a fundamental biological process called protein synthesis is controlled within the body's circadian clock -- the internal mechanism that controls one's daily rhythms.

Recent data suggest that the circadian clock regulates cognitive functions such as memory and mood in a sleep-dependent and sleep-independent manner. Some circadian clock proteins are important ...
