Peters, Jennifer Lynn (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Melatonin is rhythmically synthesized and released by the pineal gland and, in some species, retina during the night and regulates many physiological and behavioral processes in birds and mammals. Chick diencephalic ...
-
Liu, Tianxin (2017-07-31)In Drosophila, time-keeping is based on a ~24h transcription feedback loop, in which CLOCK-CYCLE (CLK-CYC) heterodimers activate transcription of genes encoding the feedback repressors PERIOD (PER) and TIMELESS (TIM). ...
-
Mackey, Shannon Rose (2009-06-02)Circadian rhythms of behavior have been well characterized in organisms including mammals, plants, insects, fungi, and photosynthetic bacteria. Cyanobacteria, such as the unicellular Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, display ...
-
Bailey, Michael J (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The genetic identification of molecular mechanisms responsible for circadian rhythm generation has advanced tremendously over the past 25 years. However the molecular identities of the avian clock remain largely unexplored. ...
-
Thorson, Jennifer Frances (2013-01-28)The seasonal termination of ovarian cycles in mares initiated near the time of the autumnal equinox is a significant managerial issue for horse breeders world-wide. Studies presented herein had two over-arching aims. In ...
-
Shende, Vikram Ravindra 1982- (2012-11-15)The circadian system in mammals is arranged as a hierarchical network of oscillators, with the master pacemaker of circadian rhythms located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus and peripheral oscillators ...
-
Bancroft, Eric Andrew (2022-11-08)Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, with no known cure. The main pathological hallmark of PD is the loss of DA neurons within the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). ...
-
Womac, Alisa Diane (2012-10-19)Molecular, cellular, and physiological processes within an organism are set to occur at specific times throughout the day. The timing of these processes is under control of a biological clock. Nearly all organisms on Earth ...
-
Ramirez, Manuel Antonio (2021-04-22)The circadian clock is a conserved endogenous time keeping mechanism that controls up to half of the eukaryotic genome at the level of transcript abundance. In addition to clock control of transcript abundance, our lab ...
