Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School and the University of California, Santa Cruz, have discovered the secret of how our internal clock is regulated. They found that this regulator sits right at the back end of casein kinase 1 delta (CK1δ), a protein that acts as a pacemaker for our internal biological clock or the natural […]
A study by the University of California, Irvine, has shown how disruption of the circadian clock, the body’s own 24-hour biological pacemaker, can accelerate the progression of colorectal cancer by impairing the intestinal microbiome and intestinal barrier function. This discovery offers new opportunities for prevention and treatment strategies. The study, published in the journal Science […]
A major breakthrough in the understanding of the sleep mechanism opens up new possibilities for the treatment of sleep disorders and associated neuropsychiatric diseases: Scientists have identified the melatonin receptor MT1 as a crucial regulator of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

Current sleep guidelines recommend no screen use in the hour or two before bedtime. However, the researchers found that screen use in the […]
