(Nanowerk News) Living organisms monitor time – and react to it – in many different ways, from detecting light and sound in microseconds to responding physiologically in pre-programmed ways, via their ...

Opening new doors for the development of nanotechnologies in medicine and other fields, scientists recreate and compare two natural mechanisms to better program the timescale of molecular ...

Nutritious food regular exercise quality sleep hydration and stress control are the simple life habits that can protect DNA ...

Circadian clocks, the biochemical oscillators that are controlled by the day–night cycle, have a central role in many biological processes. The mechanism underlying the earliest form of such ...

IN A WORLD where new technology is dominated by the movement of electrons and the manipulation of biomolecules, it is good to know that old-fashioned mechanics can sometimes get a look-in, too.

Circadian timing refers to the ability of an organism deprived of external temporal cues to express physiological and behavioural rhythms with a periodicity of approximately 24 hours. This endogenous ...
