Light-Seq technology for barcoding and deep-sequencing selected cell populations in tissues

Under the microscope, researchers often observe different cell types organizing themselves in peculiar patterns within tissues, or sometimes a rare cell type that stands out by occupying a unique position, exhibiting an unusual shape, or expressing a specific biomarker molecule.

Changes in temperature may be behind the link between circadian disruption and cancer

Disruptions in circadian rhythm - the ways that our bodies change in response to the 24-hour light and dark cycle - have been linked to many different diseases, including cancer.

Metabolic differences between early birds and night owls could help predict diabetes, heart disease risk

Are you an early bird or a night owl? Our activity patterns and sleep cycles could influence our risk of diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Early risers may have lower risk of diabetes and heart disease than late risers

A new study highlights that people with early chronotype use more fat during rest and exercise and exhibit more sensitivity to insulin. They remain more physically active throughout the day and have lower risk of type 2 diabetes.

New insights into how the circadian clock may promote healing after traumatic brain injuries

A type of brain cell that can renew itself is regulated by circadian rhythms, providing significant insights into how the body's internal clock may promote healing after traumatic brain injuries (TBI), according to new research from Children's National Hospital.

Morning-loaded and evening-loaded diets produce similar weight loss, with no energy metabolism differences

There's the old saying in dieting that one must "breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper," based on the belief that consuming the bulk of daily calories in the morning optimizes weight loss by burning calories more efficiently and quickly.

The long-term clinical status of pediatric patients after testing positive for COVID-19

A recent study found that the most common long COVID symptoms in the pediatric population showed a higher prevalence among patients in the age range of 6-17 years and were identical to those reported in adults.

Clock gene-dependent glutamate signaling responsible for seasonal regulation of reproduction in bean bugs

Did you know that not only does organism's body have a biological clock that can tell the time of the day, it can also tell the time of the year? Now, researchers from Japan have found that one capable little molecule may be behind the mechanism by which the biological clock keeps track of the seasons.

Circadian rhythm disruption is shared by a broad range of mental illnesses, study finds

Anxiety, autism, schizophrenia and Tourette syndrome each have their own distinguishing characteristics, but one factor bridging these and most other mental disorders is circadian rhythm disruption, according to a team of neuroscience, pharmaceutical sciences and computer science researchers at the University of California, Irvine.
