What is the molecular clock? Levels of molecular variation could be used, in principle, to estimate divergence times, serving as evolutionary "clocks" that "tick" at different rates. Subsequent ...

However, there are mixed feelings of enthusiasm and apprehension among researchers about efforts to develop tests that measure the impact of ageing on the body, as they are often interpreted and ...

The discovery that a group of cell-infecting bacteria lived roughly 2 billion years ago stirs a longstanding controversy around which came first: phagocytosis or mitochondria. A study of 19 ...

Partch’s lab aims to build on a molecular understanding of biological clocks to develop innovative strategies to treat a broad spectrum of human diseases, including psychiatric disorders, diabetes, ...

In each of our cells, we have genes that form the molecular circadian clock. These clock genes encode a set of transcription factors that regulate many processes throughout the body and align them ...

"In each of our cells, we have genes that form the molecular circadian clock," Peek said. "These clock genes encode a set of transcription factors that regulate many processes throughout the body ...
