Our biological clock regulates various daily rhythms, such as sleep/wake rhythm, body temperature, and metabolism. Disruption of the circadian rhythm may lead to sleep disorders, cancer and other ...

“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.

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

Circadian rhythms that are weaker and more fragmented are linked to an increased risk of dementia, according to a new study ...

A recent study in Neurology reveals that weaker, more fragmented circadian rhythms are linked to an increased dementia risk.

Each of the trillions of cells in our bodies has a tiny internal clock. When all of those clocks are synchronized, they tell us when to wake up, burn calories, and go to sleep. But when they lose ...

The mammalian circadian clock mechanism is cell autonomous and composed of a transcription–translation negative-feedback loop. These clocks are distributed throughout the body and regulate ...

For at least 3,000 years, humans have known that malaria runs like clockwork, with a devastating fever that peaks, fades and returns on a predictable schedule. The Greek physician Hippocrates observed ...

Glucocorticoid (GC) is an adrenal steroid with diverse physiological effects. It undergoes a robust daily oscillation, which has been thought to be driven by the master circadian clock in the ...

Clocks existed long before smart watches and ticking timepieces. Our circadian rhythm, the internal clock driving most organisms — from bacteria to humans — is an ancient biological function that ...
