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 […]
Association Between Lower Proportions of Certain Sleep Phases and Brain Changes Associated With Alzheimer’s Disease
New research indicates that lower proportions of certain sleep stages are associated with reduced brain volume in regions vulnerable to the development of Alzheimer’s disease over time. The results show that individuals with lower proportions of time spent in deep sleep and rapid eye movement sleep had lower volumes in critical brain regions, particularly in […]
Are Night Owls More Prone to Depression, Heart Disease and Metabolic Disorders?
Mindfulness, overall sleep quality and alcohol consumption could explain why people who stay up late have a higher risk of depression, according to a new study published in the open access journal PLOS One by Simon Evans of the University of Surrey, UK, and colleagues. Previous research has shown that night owls, who stay up […]
