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.....»»

Researchers at Nanjing Normal University, China, have investigated the genetic underpinnings of mammalian longevity in search of new strategies to extend human lifespan......»»
Mathematical models may help shed light on body clock disruptions
Researchers are using mathematical models to better understand the effects of disruptions like daylight savings time, working night shifts, jet lag or even late-night phone scrolling on the body's circadian rhythms......»»
Replication of prior studies fails to find purported evidence of magnetic sensing in fruit flies
A team of neurosensory researchers from the University of Oxford, Universität Oldenburg and the University of Exeter has replicated landmark studies reporting magnetic sensing in Drosophila fruit flies and failed to find any evidence for it. In thei.....»»
New research shows the complexity of bacterial circadian clocks
Bacteria make up more than 10% of all living things but until recently we had little realization that, as in humans, soil bacteria have internal clocks that synchronize their activities with the 24-hour cycles of day and night on Earth......»»
MHZ9 modulates ethylene signaling at translational level in rice
Ethylene is a versatile gaseous plant hormone that plays an important role in rice growth, development, and environmental adaptation. Translational control allows the mRNA to be translated in an mRNA-selective, signal-responsive, and rapid manner......»»
Blue light: An on-off switch for enzymes
Light affects living organisms in many different ways, for example, plants orient their growth direction towards the sun, while circadian rhythms in humans are controlled by daylight. These processes always involve photoreceptors, which are proteins.....»»

Researchers demonstrate the power of quantum computing in drug design
Gero, an AI-driven biotech focused on aging and longevity, has demonstrated the feasibility of applying quantum computing for drug design and generative chemistry, which now offers significant promise for the future of healthcare. The research, publi.....»»
AMP biosynthesis key to longevity and metabolic health in vertebrates, study finds
A recent study led by Dr. Itamar Harel from the Silberman Institute at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has revealed new insights into the role of AMP biosynthesis in the lifespan and metabolic health of vertebrates......»»
How the internal clock of our cells is influenced by mechanical forces
Living organisms possess an internal biological cycle known as the circadian clock, enabling them to adapt to environmental changes arising from the Earth's rotation. This internal clock regulates vital physiological processes including sleep, metabo.....»»
This EV truckmaker is gigacasting its battery packs for longevity

CONSTANS protein negatively modulates salinity tolerance in arabidopsis, study shows
CONSTANS (CO), a well-known member of the B-box family, is the major component of the photoperiodically regulated flowering and circadian pathways in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). CO is expressed in various tissues, including seedling roots and.....»»
Understanding the regulation of apicoplast gene expression in the malaria parasite
Gene expression within the apicoplast, an organelle in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, is regulated by melatonin (the circadian signaling hormone) in host blood and intrinsic parasite cues, via a factor called ApSigma, as identified by a.....»»
Scientists Are Gene-Editing Flies to Fight Crop Damage
The spotted-wing drosophila is a threat to fruit growers across the US and Europe. Crispr could thwart the pest’s numbers......»»
Adjusting Your Body Clock May Stave Off Cancer
Research shows that disrupting the body’s circadian rhythm raises cancer risk, and resetting it may bring that risk down.....»»
GM signals longevity for gas offerings
Commitments ease job security concerns so tougher issues can be discussed with UAW at bargaining table, experts say.....»»
To fight berry-busting fruit flies, researchers focus on sterilizing the bugs
Paul Nelson is used to doing battle with an invasive fruit fly called the spotted wing drosophila, a pest that one year ruined more than half the berries on the Minnesota farm he and his team run. In recent years, they've cut their losses closer to 5.....»»
