Isogenic cells sharing a common environment present a large degree of heterogeneity in gene expression, and stochasticity inherent to transcription substantially participates in this cell-to-cell variability. Notably, a majority of mammalian genes are tran ...
Glucose sensing and regulation of insulin secretion are the two main functions performed by the pancreatic beta-cell. Together these processes contribute to the tight control of blood glucose in our body. Compromising the ability of the beta-cells to prope ...
Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior evolved to resonate with daily cycles in the external environment. In mammals, organs orchestrate temporal physiology over the 24-h day, which requires extensive gene expression rhythms targeted to the right tis ...
Mammalian physiology resonates with the daily changes in the external environment, allowing processes such as rest-activity cycles, metabolism, and body temperature to synchronize with daily changes in the surroundings. Studies have identified the molecula ...

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 ...
Circadian clocks are endogenous timekeeping systems that adapt in an anticipatory fashion the physiology and behavior of most living organisms. In mammals, the master pacemaker resides in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and entrains peripheral clocks using a w ...
Circadian rhythms are biological processes found in most living organisms, displaying a roughly 24-hour period, responding primarily to light darkness cycles in an organism's environment. At the cellular level, the circa-24h rhythmicity is generated by a m ...
In mammals the circadian clock drives daily behavioural and physiological changes that resonate with environmental cues, which can be observed, for example, in the intricate timing of rest during the night and activity during the day in humans. The circadi ...
Most organisms, including humans, have developed an intrinsic system of circadian oscillators, allowing the anticipation of events related to the rotation of Earth around its own axis. The mammalian circadian timing system orchestrates nearly all aspects o ...
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 ...
