What is the 'spectral diet' of humans?

Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler, Manuel Spitschan

Our visual perception of the world - seeing form and colour or navigating the environment - depends on the interaction of light and matter in the environment. Light also has a more fundamental role in regulating rhythms in physiology and behaviour, as well ...

At the Intersection of Microbiota and Circadian Clock: Are Sexual Dimorphism and Growth Hormones the Missing Link to Pathology? Circadian Clock and Microbiota: Potential Egffect on Growth Hormone and Sexual Development

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger

Reciprocal interactions between the host circadian clock and the microbiota are evidenced by recent literature. Interestingly, dysregulation of either the circadian clock or microbiota is associated with common human pathologies such as obesity, type 2 dia ...

Chronotype: Implications for Epidemiologic Studies on Chrono-Nutrition and Cardiometabolic Health

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon

Chrono-nutrition is an emerging research field in nutritional epidemiology that encompasses 3 dimensions of eating behavior: timing, frequency, and regularity. To date, few studies have investigated how an individual's circadian typology, i.e., one's chron ...

Heart rate variability at bedtime predicts subsequent sleep features

Fiorenzo Artoni, Maria Paola Tramonti Fantozzi

Getting enough sleep during the night is important for preventing adverse short- and long-term health outcomes. The sympathetic-parasympathetic autonomic balance, characteristics of the pre-bed time resting period, correlates with sleep efficiency. We inve ...

MeCP2-E1 isoform is a dynamically expressed, weakly DNA-bound protein with different protein and DNA interactions compared to MeCP2-E2

Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut

Background: MeCP2-a chromatin-binding protein associated with Rett syndrome-has two main isoforms, MeCP2-E1 and MeCP2-E2, differing in a few N-terminal amino acid residues. Previous studies have shown brain region-specific expression of these isoforms whic ...

Nicotine increases sleep spindle activity

Christian O'Reilly

Studies have shown that both nicotine and sleep spindles are associated with enhanced memorisation. Further, a few recent studies have shown how cholinergic input through nicotinic and muscarinic receptors can trigger or modulate sleep processes in general ...

Can one detect atrial fibrillation using a wrist-type photoplethysmographic device?

Jean-Marc Vesin, Mathieu Lemay, Célestin Leupi, Sibylle Fallet, Etienne Pruvot, Philippe Renevey

This study aims at evaluating the potential of a wrist-type photoplethysmographic (PPG) device to discriminate between atrial fibrillation (AF) and other types of rhythm. Data from 17 patients undergoing catheter ablation of various arrhythmias were proces ...

Circadian Rhythms and Mitochondria: Connecting the Dots

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Miriam Valera Alberni

Circadian rhythms provide a selective advantage by anticipating organismal nutrient needs and guaranteeing optimal metabolic capacity during active hours. Impairment of circadian rhythms is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes and emerging evi ...

Circadian clock- and feeding-dependent regulation of translation initiation and elongation in the liver

Cédric Gobet

Circadian rhythms allow organisms to anticipate and adapt to periodic environmental changes related to the day-night cycle. These rhythms originate from a genetic network ticking in almost every cell of our body and the coordination between different organ ...

EPFL Smart Glass Field Study

Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler, Victoria Eugenia Soto Magán

The objectives of this study are to evaluate (1) direct non-visual effects of red-impoverished daylight on circadian resetting and alertness and (2) the daily light-exposure pattern on indirect–circadian–effects. The novelty of this study is that it will b ...
