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 ...

The circadian clock in cyanobacteria represents one of the most elegant and thoroughly studied biological timekeeping systems. This oscillator is principally driven by the concerted actions of Kai ...

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 ...

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded today to Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young for discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms. Following ...

(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 ...

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 ...
