A novel method to measure circadian cycles
The variation in individual circadian rhythms is an anecdotal as well as experimentally verified fact. But, until now, to systematically study circadian differences (and thereby hope to rout out the underlying genetic causes), scientists have had to rely on prolonged behavioural observation. view more (2005-09-27)
Flowers to Order
How do growers ensure their Poinsettias are ready for Christmas or their roses for Valentine’s Day? Professor Andrew Millar (Warwick University) will present current work on Thursday 3 April (in session P9.9) which could help breeders to schedule their crops more accurately. Like most organisms, plants possess a ‘clock’ which... view more... (2003-03-31)
Actigraphy is a useful way to assess and manage sleep disorders
Actigraphy, the use of a portable device that records movement over extended periods of time, and has been used extensively in the study of sleep and circadian rhythms, provides an acceptably accurate estimate of sleep patterns in normal, healthy adult populations and in-patients suspected of certain sleep disorders. view more (2007-04-02)
Circadian rhythm-metabolism link discovered
UC Irvine researchers have found a molecular link between circadian rhythms - our own body clock - and metabolism. The discovery reveals new possibilities for the treatment of diabetes, obesity and other related diseases. view more (2008-07-25)
When it comes to sleep research, fruit flies and people make unlikely bedfellows
You may never hear fruit flies snore, but rest assured that when you're asleep they are too. According to research published in the January 2009 issue of the journal GENETICS, scientists from the University of Missouri-Kansas City have shown that the circadian rhythms (sleep/wake cycles) of fruit flies and vertebrates are regulated by some of the... view more...

NYU dental professor discovers biological clock
Why do rats live faster and die younger than humans? A newly discovered biological clock provides tantalizing clues. view more (2008-04-07)
Gene controlling circadian rhythms linked to drug addiction, UT Southwestern researchers find
The gene that regulates the body's main biological clocks also may play a pivotal role in drug addiction, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2005-06-14)
Hydrogen Peroxide's Link to Living Cells
If a circadian rhythm is like an orchestra - the united expression of the rhythms of millions of cells - a common chemical may serve as the conductor, or at least as the baton. view more (2009-11-04)
Hebrew University, US scientists find clue to mystery of biological clock
How does our biological system know that it is supposed to operate on a 24-hour cycle? Scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have discovered that a tiny molecule holds the clue to the mystery. view more (2009-11-30)
Prenatal alcohol exposure can alter circadian rhythms in offspring
Children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) suffer from a variety of behavioral alterations. For example, they may exhibit alterations in sleeping and eating patterns, which may indicate that their circadian systems - which control biological rhythms - have been affected by alcohol exposure during development. view more (2006-04-24)
Keeping the body in sync — The stability of cellular clocks
A study in Switzerland uses the tools of physics to show how our circadian clocks manage to keep accurate time in the noisy cellular environment. view more (2007-03-13)
Feeling sleepy is all in your genes
Genes responsible for our 24 hour body clock influence not only the timing of sleep, but also appear to be central to the actual restorative process of sleep, according to research published in the online open access journal BMC Neuroscience. view more (2007-10-18)
Pain and stiffness intensity ebb and flow according to body clock in osteoarthritic patients
Levels of pain intensity and arthritic stiffness closely follow the rhythms of the body clock, reveals research in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2002-11-12)
Chemotherapy for breast cancer is associated with disruption of sleep-wake rhythm in women
A study in the Sept.1 issue of the journal Sleep shows that the sleep-wake activity rhythms of breast cancer patients are impaired during the administration of chemotherapy. view more (2009-09-01)
Studies find stable sleep patterns and regular routines may improve outcomes in bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder, commonly known as manic-depressive disorder, is highly influenced by the circadian system - the body's internal clock - and a specific kind of psychotherapy may help decrease irregularities in the circadian system that can trigger key symptoms of bipolar disorder. view more (2007-12-10)
Seasonal weight changes linked to metabolic syndrome
Seasonal changes in weight increase the risk for metabolic syndrome, a group of scientists from National Public Health Institute, Helsinki, Finland, reports in a study published in the January 23 issue of the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE. view more (2008-01-23)
New Approach Sheds Light on Ways Circadian Disruption Affects Human Health
Growing evidence indicates that exposure to irregular patterns of light and darkness can cause the human circadian system to fall out of synchrony with the 24-hour solar day, negatively affecting human health - but scientists have been unable to effectively study the relationship between circadian disruptions and human maladies. view more (2008-07-17)
Plants in the fourth dimension
As anyone who has suffered from jetlag knows, we have internal clocks that tell us when to sleep and wake, and we can be miserable when these are disrupted. view more (2008-07-01)
Biological clocks of insects could lead to more effective pest control
Researchers at Oregon State University have discovered that the circadian rhythms or biological "clocks" in some insects can make them far more susceptible to pesticides at some times of the day instead of others. view more (2009-08-13)
Gene controlling circadian rhythms may be involved in onset of bipolar disorder
Disrupt the gene that regulates the biological clocks in mice and they become manic, exhibiting behaviors similar to humans with bipolar disorder, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2007-03-20)
