A new tool named CYCLOPS may change the way we study the circadian rhythm by allowing researchers to more easily examine circadian rhythms in living human cells. Much of the research on molecular mechanisms underlying the circadian rhythm is performed on mice, fruit flies and other animals. There is a good reason for this: Identifying […]
Maintaining Body’s Circadian Clock May be Due to Synchronized Voltage Rhythms
A new study shows that synchronized voltage rhythms may be key in coordinating our internal clock, offering new avenues for treatment of circadian disorders. The inner working of the brain is one of the hottest areas of research right now. Although we know a great deal about this organ’s structure and functions, finding out the […]
New Study Shows Long-Term Sleep Deprivation Could Lead to Osteoporosis
New research suggests that osteoporosis may soon be added to the long list of chronic diseases linked to sleep deprivation and other sleep disorders. Osteoporosis is one of the most common and debilitating diseases of old age. Around half of elderly women and one-quarter of elderly men will suffer a broken bone from this disease […]
Body Temperature Related to Level of Unconsciousness in the Brain Damaged
Body temperature reflects more than the weather outside. According to a new study, our temperature may be able to improve the recovery of people with brain damage. Humans are warm-blooded, which means our body temperature is controlled by our bodies rather than remaining the same temperature as our surroundings. However, we do not constantly remain […]
How Does Shift Work Cause Heart Disease?
Researchers have linked working odd hours to a variety of health problems. How can shiftwork cause heart disease? What is the answer for fields where this is required? It is no secret that working evenings and nights can have a variety of ill effects on your health. However, chronobiology researchers did not previously understand exactly […]
