Mice with humanized livers reveal the role of hepatocyte clocks in rhythmic behavior
Cédric Gobet, Sylviane Métairon, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger
The synchronization of circadian clock depends on a central pacemaker located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei. However, the potential feedback of peripheral signals on the central clock remains poorly characterized. To explore whether peripheral organ circad ...
AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE2023Statistical physics of periodic biological processes
Earth rotation around its axis imposes a 24-hour rhythmicity to all life on the planet.Rather than passively responding to these periodic changes, nature has given us an internal timekeeper, the circadian clock, to anticipate to our advantage the fluctuati ...
EPFL2023Uncovering personalized glucose responses and circadian rhythms from multiple wearable biosensors with Bayesian dynamical modeling
Felix Naef, Nicholas Edward Phillips
Wearable biosensors and smartphone applications can measure physiological variables over multiple days in free-living conditions. We measure food and drink ingestion, glucose dynamics, physical activity, heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV) in ...
CELL PRESS2023Optimized office lighting advances melatonin phase and peripheral heat loss prior bedtime
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Marta Benedetti, Lenka Maierova
Improving indoor lighting conditions at the workplace has the potential to support proper circadian entrainment of hormonal rhythms, sleep, and well-being. We tested the effects of optimized dynamic daylight and electric lighting on circadian phase of mela ...
2022A simulation tool for building and lighting design considering ipRGC-influenced light responses
Marilyne Andersen, Clotilde Marie A Pierson, Myrta Gkaintatzi-Masouti
The ipRGCs in the human eye mediate several effects on people, such as alertness and circadian rhythms. The spectral, temporal and spatial characteristics of light influence the magnitude of these effects. To facilitate the anticipation of the ipRGC-influe ...
2022We crave daylight – but not just to see
New insights into the psycho-physiological effects of (day)light on humans. How much do these effects matter in our indoor environment, wherein we spend 90% of our time nowadays? Through this talk, Marilyne Andersen establishes connections between architec ...
2022Integrating non-visual effects of light in the automated daylight-responsive control of blinds and electric lighting
The use of daylight in buildings is important because it contributes to energy savings by reducing the use of electric lighting and space heating. It also impacts on biological functions and on well-being. Indeed, light not only allows vision, but has non- ...
EPFL2021Exploring light exposure of hospital nurses working rapidly rotating shifts in relation to sleepiness and sleep
Nightshift work can negatively impact sleep, performance, and health. Careful manipulation of light exposure patterns can help reduce these negative effects but is challenging in conditions of rapidly rotating shiftwork and due to individual differences. A ...

2021Human circadian rhythms and urban density: celebrating the natural day-night cycle
Marilyne Andersen, Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Megan Nicole Danell, Javier Fernandez Contreras
Our exposure to light has a key role in regulating our biological clock through a dedicated photoreceptor present in the human eye. Increased awareness to its criticality when it comes to human well-being is urgently needed, as this criticality is potentia ...
