The first time Aten thought about being a scientist was in Mrs. Deak’s high school anatomy class. Mrs. Deak opened Aten’s eyes to what careers in science and medicine could look like and even brought ...

Discover how your body’s internal clock influences your weight and overall well-being — and how to get it back into sync.

Researchers have advanced our understanding of the circadian clock, the biological cycle that synchronizes with light-dark exposure. They recently developed a method to study how the circadian clock ...

It turns out that your body has more than one circadian clock. Different circadian clocks keep control of the circadian rhythms of different parts of your body, and they work best when they are all ...

The circadian clock describes the 24-hour internal clock in our brains. The rhythms that regulate our awake and sleep cycles occur through the circadian clock and its response to changes in light in ...

If you've traveled across multiple time zones, you’ve likely felt the impact of jet lag, but why does it seem more intense ...

It’s not just your imagination — as winter approaches, and the days grow shorter, our bodies are undergoing their own changes. The reason? Shifting circadian rhythms thanks to decreased exposure to ...

Researchers have used a novel algorithm called PeakMatch to reconstruct actual-time gene expression patterns from single-cell RNAseq datasets and demonstrate that circadian clock genes regulate plant ...

Jet lag: travel’s uninvited guest. It’s the yawning at 3 p.m., the groggy mornings, the messed-up internal clock that makes ...
