Instead, it follows the cycle of its internal clock, the so-called circadian rhythm. However, as this rhythm is different for every person and […]
Biological Network in Cells and the Development of Diseases
There are more than 200 different cell types in the human body. Each cell is specialized to perform a specific function or form a specialized tissue. When cells don’t function properly, different diseases can occur. Scientists have now conducted research that opens up a whole new world inside our cells. Every minute of every day, […]
The Role of the Circadian Clock in Metabolic Diseases
Cells with a functioning molecular clock are better able to adapt to changes in glucose supply and recover more quickly from long-term starvation, according to a new study published in eLife. This discovery helps explain why changes in the body’s circadian rhythm, such as night shift work and jet lag, may increase the risk of […]

For example, studies suggest that cinnamon has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-cancer potential, and may also boost the immune system. Cinnamon for Memory or Learning Disabilities Cinnamon, the well-known aromatic spice that many […]
Immune Response to Vaccination: The Role of the Circadian Rhythm
Many physiological and behavioral functions, including the immune system, exhibit circadian rhythms. We know that circadian rhythms are generated by “clock genes” that affect most organs and cells – including those of the immune system, whose function varies with the time of day. Accordingly, circadian rhythms are found for various aspects of physiology, including sleep, […]
