Characterization of Vrille Function in the Drosophila Circadian Clock
(2018-01-17)TThe Drosophila circadian clock is comprised of transcriptional feedback loops, which control rhythmic gene expression and are also responsible for daily rhythms in physiology, metabolism and behavior. The core feedback ... -
Effects of Pinealectomy on Metabolic Activity and Clock Gene Expression in Passer domesticus
(2008-08-19)The biological clock and the biological rhythms it controls are anticipatory mechanisms found ubiquitously across a wide variety of taxa, ranging from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, from bacteria to animals. Avian species, ... -
The Role of P2X7 Receptor Signaling in Regulation of Rhythmic Astrocyte Physiology in Mouse Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Cells
(2016-08-09)Mammalian circadian rhythms are controlled by the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus. While neural circuits influence SCN entrainment, cells within the SCN also act as individual oscillators. Research on ...
