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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We all know someone who seems to defy aging – people who look younger than their peers despite being the same age. What is their secret? Scientists at Osaka University (Japan) may have found a way to quantify that difference. By incorporating hormone (steroid) metabolic pathways into an AI-driven model, they have developed a new […]
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 […]
