Removing the clock gene BMAL1 makes bacteria-engulfing defence cells in the body more effective, a University of Manchester and University of Oxford study published in the journal PNAS has found. This ...

Virtually every cell in the human body has an internal clock. These clocks take their cues from a central clock in the brain.

A key component of our circadian clock also regulates the body’s response to oxygen deficiency. This component, which undergoes changes over the course of the day and night, could affect the timing of ...

Research reveals how the body clock regulates inflammation and highlights mitochondria's role in driving daily changes in ...

Nityanand Bolshette, the team discovered that the BMAL1 protein, a key component of our circadian clocks, also plays an important role in the body's response to oxygen deficiency and is necessary ...

As the osteoarthritis became more severe, the number of cells that express BMAL1 – a protein which controls the body clock - became less and less. And in terms of aging, he found similar reduction of ...

The scientists observed that two clock genes in the cancer cells, Bmal1 and Per2, changed their schedules as the mice changed ...

New research reveals how the body’s circadian clock regulates macrophage activity, influencing immune system inflammation throughout the day.
