Most biochemical reactions accelerate as temperature increases, but our daily circadian rhythms, which are underlain by gene regulatory and biochemical networks, remain constant, even as temperatures ...

One important aspect of the internal time-keeping system continues to perplex scientists: its complex response to temperature, which can shift the clock forward or backward, but cannot change its ...

Researchers led by Gen Kurosawa at the RIKEN Center for Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences (iTHEMS) in Japan have used theoretical physics to discover how our biological clock ...
