Endogenous ceramide phosphoethanolamine modulates circadian rhythm and longevity in Drosophila
The circadian clock entrains rhythmic patterns in behavioral and physiological processes to temporally coordinate systemic metabolism with the rising and setting of the sun. In previous investigation on human subjects, sphingomyelins (SMs) exhibited.....»»

The role of animal pheromones in regulating fat burning and longevity
Pheromones are potent molecules that mediate communications between animals and even between humans. Usually, a sender animal synthesizes and excretes pheromones to the environment; pheromones are detected by a receiver animal and elicit dramatic cha.....»»

Looking for musical abilities in primates
Songbirds share the human sense of rhythm, but it is a rare trait in non-human mammals. An international research team led by senior investigators Marco Gamba from the University of Turin and MPI's Andrea Ravignani set out to look for musical abiliti.....»»
MYB70 transcription factor modulates Arabidopsis seed germination and root development
Crosstalk among Abscisic acid (ABA), auxin, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays critical roles in modulating seed germination, root growth, and suberization. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely elusive......»»
Arctic krill use twilight to guide their daily rhythms through the polar winter
Most animals sync their body clocks to the daily rhythm of the sun, but what happens during the polar winter when the sun never rises above the horizon? According to a study by Jonathan Cohen at the University of Delaware and colleagues, publishing O.....»»

Over time, many endogenous retrovirus (ERV) sequences have integrated into the human genome, and now play important roles in normal gene regulation......»»
Freezing fruit flies for future function
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has long been an important experimental model for biological research. While you may be eager to rid your kitchen of this unwanted pest, researchers in Japan have developed a new technique to keep Drosophila in t.....»»
Scientists assemble a biological clock in a test tube to study how it works
Daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology are driven by biological clocks (also called circadian clocks) in our cells. The cyclical interactions of clock proteins keep the biological rhythms of life in tune with the daily cycle of nigh.....»»
"Fight or flight" – unless internal clocks are disrupted, study in mice shows
For humans and animals, many aspects of normal behavior and physiology rely on the proper functioning of the body's circadian clocks......»»
