Have you ever wondered how a plant knows to open its buds in the morning and perform other time-dependent tasks? New research suggests that protein signaling is the answer. Modern people tend to think of internal clocks as a feature of humans and other mammals. After all, plants cannot lie down to sleep or do […]
New Tool Named CYCLOPS Allows Us to See Daily Rhythms in Cells
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 […]
