Circadian clocks control physiological processes and behavior in virtually all living organisms. Now an international research team has created a detailed map of the internal clock in the brain of the ...

Ketone bodies are energy-rich metabolites and signaling molecules whose production is mainly regulated by diet. Caloric restriction (CR) is a dietary intervention that improves metabolism and extends ...

A team of biologists has unraveled the biochemistry of how bacteria so precisely time cell division, a key element in understanding how all organisms from bacteria to humans use their biological ...

Scientists have, for the past 30 years, been investigating the regenerative potential of insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas. Newly reported studies in diabetic mice by researchers at the ...

Subconsciously, our bodies keep time for us through an ancient means—the circadian clock. A new University of California, Irvine-led article reviews how the clock controls various aspects of ...

All animals including humans are subject to daily rhythms in their activity and sleep, hunger, metabolism, and reproduction. The system that regulates these biological rhythms is known as the ...
