Abstract:
Ninety male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 1:1-h light-dark (LD1:1) cycles for 50–90 days, and then they were released into constant darkness (DD). During LD1:1 cycles, behavioral rhythms were gradually disintegrated, and circadian rhythms of locomotor activity, drinking, and urine 6-sulfatoxymelatonin excretion were eventually abolished. After release into DD, 44 (49%) rats showed arrhythmic behavior for >10 days. Seven (8%) animals that remained arrhythmic for >50 days in DD were exposed to brief light pulses or 12:12-h light-dark cycles, and then they restored their circadian rhy

Abstract:
The metronomic predictability of the environment has elicited strong selection pressures for the evolution of endogenous circadian clocks. Circadian clocks drive molecular and behavioural rhythms that approximate the 24 h periodicity of our environment. Found almost ubiquitously among phyla, circadian clocks allow preadaptation to rhythms concomitant with the natural cycles of the Earth. Cycles in light intensity and temperature for example act as important cues that couple circadian clocks to the environment via a process called entrainment.

Stem cell-derived tissues that recap endogenous physiology are key for regenerative medicine. Yet, most methods yield products that function like fetal, not adult tissues.

Abstract:
The circadian system is generally considered to be incapable of adjusting to rapid changes in sleep/work demands. In shiftworkers this leads to chronic circadian disruption and sleep loss, which together predict underperformance at work and negative health consequences. Two distinct experimental protocols have been proposed to increase circadian flexibility in rodents using dim light at night: rhythm bifurcation and T-cycle (i.e., day length) entrainment. Successful translation of such protocols to human shiftworkers could facilitate alignment of internal time with external demands. To assess

Abstract:
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is the master pacemaker that drives circadian rhythms in mammalian physiology and behavior. The abilities to synchronize to daily cycles in the environment and to keep accurate time over a range of physiologic temperatures are two fundamental properties of circadian pacemakers. Recordings from a bioluminescent reporter ( Per1-luc) of Period1 gene activity in rats showed that the cultured SCN entrained to daily, 1.5°C cycles of temperature, but did not synchronize to daily light cycles. Temperature entrainment developed by 1 day after birth. Light cycles failed

ISSUE:Many individuals with total blindness can develop a circadian rhythm disorder—called non-24 sleep wake syndrome—because they cannot detect light to resynchronize their sleep–wake cycles. A new melatonin 1 and melatonin 2 agonist tasimelteon improves sleep in these patients, resetting their circadian sleep–wake clocks.

Abstract:
The circadian system is responsible for the temporal organisation of physiological functions which, in part, involves daily cycles of hormonal activity. In this review, we analyse the interplay between the circadian and endocrine systems in fishes. We first describe the current model of fish circadian system organisation and the basis of the molecular clockwork that enables different tissues to act as internal pacemakers. This system consists of a net of central and peripherally located oscillators and can be synchronised by the light–darkness and feeding–fasting cycles. We then focus on two c

Abstract:
Shift work is a risk factor for hypertension, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. This increased risk cannot be fully explained by classic risk factors. One of the key features of shift workers is that their behavioral and environmental cycles are typically misaligned relative to their endogenous circadian system. However, there is little information on the impact of acute circadian misalignment on cardiovascular disease risk in humans. Here we show—by using two 8-d laboratory protocols—that short-term circadian misalignment (12-h inverted behavioral and environmental cycles for three da

Background: Disruption of natural diurnal light cycles, such as that experienced by shift workers, is linked to enhanced cancer incidence. Several mouse models of cancer have been shown to develop more severe disease when exposed to irregular light/dark cycles, further supporting the connection between circadian disruption and increased cancer risk. Cryptochrome 2 (CRY2), a repressive component of the molecular circadian clock, facilitates the turnover of the oncoprotein c-MYC, one mechanism that may link the molecular clock to tumorigenesis.

Abstract:
We propose a Boolean cellular automaton to model an artificial adaptive living organism in order to investigate the development of cyclic vital functions during a simulated evolutionary process. The organism is endowed with a basic architecture consisting of several sensor (input), motor (output) and processing Boolean gates whose connectivity pattern is adapted with a genetic algorithm. Cyclic searching behaviors develop that are tuned to the spatial distribution of “food”. Under additional assumptions we also find that internal pacemakers can develop to adapt plastically to the alternance of
