Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with ...

Researchers discovered a compound, Mic-628, that resets the body clock, helping daily rhythms shift earlier and recover from ...

Our bodies run on an internal clock that helps control when we sleep, wake up, eat, and feel alert. This internal timing system, often called the body clock, follows a roughly 24-hour cycle. It ...

Most biochemical reactions accelerate as temperature increases, but our daily circadian rhythms, which are underlain by gene regulatory and biochemical networks, remain constant, even as temperatures ...

The digestive system’s rhythms are controlled by body clock genes, as well as lesser-known regulators called noncanonical clock regulators. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine aimed to ...

Scientists have identified a promising new compound, Mic-628, that can reliably shift the body’s internal clock forward—something that’s notoriously hard to do. By targeting a key clock-control ...

A new oral compound can reset the circadian clock independent of timing, dramatically speeding recovery from jet lag in animal models.

Our bodies follow a natural 24-hour cycle known as the circadian rhythm that influences everything from sleep to metabolism. While scientists have long known that certain core circadian clock genes ...

Your heart's beat isn't its only pulse, scientists have discovered. The heart's genes -- and the liver's, too -- have rhythms of their own. Every animal has built-in biological clocks that keep the ...
