Numerous studies have shown the health benefits of a time-restricted diet, including an increase in lifespan. But how this exactly affects the body at the molecular level, and how these changes interact across multiple organ systems, is not yet fully understood. Salk scientists have been able to show in studies how time-restricted eating affects gene […]
Schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders are serious illnesses associated with symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions and social withdrawal. Many people also suffer from cognitive and functional impairments. Patients with schizophrenia are known to have disturbances in various types of 24-hour body rhythms, including sleep-wake cycles, hormone levels, and gene activity in the brain’s […]
There are more than 200 different cell types in the human body. Each cell is specialized to perform a specific function or form a specialized tissue. When cells don’t function properly, different diseases can occur. Scientists have now conducted research that opens up a whole new world inside our cells. Every minute of every day, […]
Cells with a functioning molecular clock are better able to adapt to changes in glucose supply and recover more quickly from long-term starvation, according to a new study published in eLife. This discovery helps explain why changes in the body’s circadian rhythm, such as night shift work and jet lag, may increase the risk of […]
Some areas of the adult brain contain dormant or dormant neural stem cells that can potentially be reactivated to form new neurons. However, the transition from quiescence to proliferation is still poorly understood. A team led by scientists from the Universities of Geneva (UNIGE) and Lausanne (UNIL) has discovered the importance of cellular metabolism in […]
