Credit: Aging (2024). DOI: 10.18632/aging.205292A new research paper was published on the cover of Aging titled, “Effects of resveratrol on in vitro circadian clock gene expression in young and older...
by Purdue University Fruit flies give insight into age-related changes in human vision. A team of researchers discovered the circadian clock plays a significant role in protecting eyes from retinal degeneration. The team studied fruit flies, which serve as a good model for the human retina. Vikki Weake, associate professor of biochemistry in Purdue’s College...
by Baylor College of Medicine Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Disrupting circadian rhythms, which change naturally on a 24-hour cycle, has been implicated in heart disease, but it is unclear how it leads to the condition. A research team at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions investigated the function of the protein Rev-erbα/β, a key...
by UT Southwestern Medical Center Microscopic image of the mouse suprachiasmatic nucleus, the brain region responsible for controlling circadian rhythms. Credit: UT Southwestern Medical Center A gene called Npas4, already known to play a key role in balancing excitatory and inhibitory inputs in brain cells, appears to also be a master timekeeper for the brain’s circadian...
