Weizmann Institute researchers say that progesterone and the stress hormone cortisol drive circadian rhythms; when out of ...

Your daily rhythm may matter more for brain health than previously thought. Older adults with weaker, more disrupted activity ...

New research suggests that the strength and timing of the body’s internal clock may be closely tied to dementia risk.

“Changes in circadian rhythms happen with aging, and evidence suggests that circadian rhythm disturbances may be a risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases like dementia,” said Dr. Wang.

Researchers led by Gen Kurosawa at the RIKEN Center for Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences (iTHEMS) in Japan have used theoretical physics to discover how our biological clock ...

Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on aging, according to the results of a preclinical study carried out by Jeffrey Kelu, ...

A time-lapse movie of a WT cyanobacteria strain in a Green Mother Machine. The strain expresses a pkaiBC:eYFP:fsLVA transcriptional reporter (shown in green), which displays circadian oscillations.

A study reveals that weaker circadian rhythms may significantly increase the risk of developing dementia in older adults.
