The activation and inactivation mechanisms of a key protein involved in the circadian clock system of cyanobacteria -- an important organism in the evolution of such internal clocks -- have long ...

Researchers have identified a key mechanism involved with the setting of the circadian clock of cyanobacteria—a model organism for study by chronobiologists due to the organism having one of the ...

Researchers discovered deleting a key clock protein from the adrenal gland in mice caused changes to the circadian rhythm of blood pressure. This deletion also altered night and daytime differences in ...

The most common type of liver cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is already the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally—and cases are on the rise, both in the U.S. and worldwide.

Plants don't just respond to light and water, they also run on an internal daily timekeeper known as the circadian clock. Researchers have now discovered that the plant circadian clock can regulate ...

Disruptions between the brain's master circadian clock and the liver's internal clock, communicated via the hepatic afferent vagal nerve (HVAN), can lead to unhealthy eating patterns and increased ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. While chemotherapy, surgery, and liver transplants have helped some patients, targeted treatments for HCC ...

The immune system acts as a critical sentinel of organismal aging, integrating the sensing of physiological states with the execution of defense and clearance functions. Immunosenescence not only ...
