Time feels familiar. It marks every moment of daily life, from the ticking of a wall clock to the changing numbers on a ...

Cells with a functioning molecular clock are better able to adapt to changes in glucose supply and can recover faster from long-term starvation, according to a study published today in eLife. The ...

Molecular clocks in our cells synchronize our bodies with the cycle of night and day, cue us for sleep and waking, and drive daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology. Scientists ...

A lot of people dread the clocks going back an hour in winter—but reassure themselves that at least they'll get an extra hour's sleep. However, in my new study, my colleagues and I found most people ...
