Biological rhythms: Clocks for all times
The development and harmonious functioning of an organism depend on the exquisite coordination of myriad intertwined biological processes. As illustrated by this issue of Current Biology devoted to the ‘biology of time’, temporal organization plays crucial roles in coordinating dynamic phenomena as diverse as progression through the cell cycle, the processing of information, adaptation to the p...
متن کاملBiological clocks and rhythms in intertidal crustaceans.
Animals with habitats within the intertidal zone are exposed to environmental cycles that include the ebb and flow of tidal waters, changes in tidal levels associated with the lunar month, the light-dark cycle and the alternation of seasons. This intricate temporal environment results in the selection of biological timing systems with endogenous clocks that can oscillate with this wide range of...
متن کاملCircadian Rhythms: Biological Clocks Work in Phospho-Time
The 24 hour molecular oscillator requires precisely calibrated degradation of core clock proteins, like PERIOD. New studies shed light on a sequential series of PERIOD phosphorylation events that first inhibits, then accelerates PERIOD degradation.
متن کاملBiological Clocks and Rhythms of Anger and Aggression
The body's internal timekeeping system is an under-recognized but highly influential force in behaviors and emotions including anger and reactive aggression. Predictable cycles or rhythms in behavior are expressed on several different time scales such as circadian (circa diem, or approximately 24-h rhythms) and infradian (exceeding 24 h, such as monthly or seasonal cycles). The circadian timeke...
