Muscle cells have their own internal clock, and according to new research, disrupting this clock through shift work can have profound effects on the aging process. A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) provides further evidence of the harmful effects of shift work on health. Disrupted Muscle Clock in […]
Adolescents People Who Sleep Longer Perform Better in Cognitive Tasks
Young people who sleep longer—and go to bed earlier—than their peers tend to have better brain function and perform better on cognitive tests. This is what researchers from the UK and China have found. However, the study of young people in the US also showed that even those with better sleep habits did not get […]
Severity of Heart Attack and Circadian Rhythm: What is the Connection?
The molecular mechanism responsible for the varying severity of heart attacks depending on the time of day has been uncovered by researchers at UTHealth Houston. This could pave the way for innovative treatments that adapt to the natural circadian rhythm. The results of the study were published in Nature. How the Time of Day Affects […]
How Circadian Clocks Maintain Their Accuracy in Changing Environments
New research has shown how a simple circadian clock has powerful noise-filtering abilities, improving our understanding of how biological circuits maintain their accuracy in dynamic natural environments. The study highlights the remarkable ability of circadian clocks to adapt to environmental fluctuations while maintaining their accuracy. The findings are important for understanding how organisms—from bacteria to […]
Eating During the Day Could Protect People from Heart Risks Associated with Shift Work
A study conducted by researchers at Mass General Brigham suggests that meal times may be a greater risk factor for cardiovascular health than bedtimes. Numerous studies have shown that night work is associated with serious health risks, including for the heart. However, a new study by Mass General Brigham suggests that people could avoid the […]
