Insomnia and risky drinking are so closely intertwined that it is estimated that at least one-third and up to 91% of all people who suffer from sleep disorders also consume alcohol heavily. A new study suggests that perceived stress and depression play a role in the relationship between the two conditions—which is perhaps not surprising. […]
Scientists at UC Merced have developed artificial cells that can measure time perfectly – similar to the 24-hour biological clock in living organisms. By reconstructing the circadian mechanism in tiny vesicles, the researchers were able to show that even simplified synthetic systems can glow in a daily rhythm – provided they have enough proteins. A […]
