Jan 07, 2022... If the biological “clocks” – the genetic networks controlling circadian rhythms – present in virtually every cell of our body ticked out loud, would their sound amount to a chaotic cacophony or a harmonious hum?
Until several years ago, scientists thought that the master clock in the brain brought into line all the sections of the orchestra, from the head on down. In the past few years, however, studies have shown that clocks in other organs are sometimes out of step with the one in the brain, but these clocks were collectively viewed as a uniform group. A new Weizmann Institute of Science study reveals that there are “cross-rhythms” even within that group.
