If you turn the volume low enough, you cannot hear the radio. New research has found that circadian rhythm strength has a “volume control” as well: the protein REV-ERBα. Most research on the circadian rhythm deals with what happens, when and why. However, the strength of a molecular signal is also important. If a signal […]

The prevalence of diabetes and other metabolic disease has been steadily increasing in the past few decades. Around half of adults in the United States have diabetes or its precursor pre-diabetes and numbers continue to […]
