Biological Timekeeping.
The daily transition from light to darkness has significantly shaped the evolution of most living species, from unicellular organisms to mammals. Adaptation to this environmental constraint occurred through the emergence of a circadian system capable of adjusting both behavioral and physiological processes to this light-dark cycle. Superimposed upon the daily light-dark cycle is a seasonal infl...
متن کاملBiological timekeeping in the presence of stochasticity
Causal ordering of key events in the cell cycle is essential for proper functioning of an organism. Yet, it remains a mystery how a specific temporal program of events is maintained despite ineluctable stochasticity in the biochemical dynamics which dictate timing of cellular events. We propose that if a change of cell fate is triggered by the time-integral of the underlying stochastic biochemi...
متن کاملBiological Rhythms Workshop I: introduction to chronobiology.
In this chapter, we present a series of four articles derived from a Introductory Workshop on Biological Rhythms presented at the 72nd Annual Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on Quantitative Biology: Clocks and Rhythms. A diverse range of species, from cyanobacteria to humans, evolved endogenous biological clocks that allow for the anticipation of daily variations in light and temperature. The abil...
متن کاملConcepts of biological rhythmicity and chronobiology in the Holy Bible.
The way in which religious texts and sources depict the processes involved in the regulation of life is an interesting and rich topic. For example, the Holy Bible, the religious basis of Western civilization, is a document that includes references to medical, as well as historic cultural practices. Sun has already demonstrated that the Bible contains rich medical materials on different subjects...
