Hughes et al. allow day-active striped mice control over their home-cage light exposure, investigating the impact of self-selected light on daily activity rhythms. These mice prefer bright light when ...

Other lives: Neuroscientist whose research showed how individual molecules can affect neurological disorders

Circadian rhythms in gene expression and hormones are ubiquitous across species and differentiated cell types, yet their developmental origins remain poorly und...

The "intuitive" neuropharmacologist pushed against the status quo.

Applications are invited for a full-time Research Technician to join the Gibbs lab within the Centre for Biological Timing at the University of Manchester. This 3-year MRC funded project takes an integrated approach across murine models and human samples to discover how glucocorticoid hormones direct the anti-inflammatory potential of a specialised subset of immune cells called regulatory T cells (Tregs).

The circadian rhythm regulates various bodily functions, including sleep and hormone release. Researchers discovered glioblastoma, a deadly brain cancer, synchronizes its growth with these rhythms, exploiting hormone surges like cortisol. Disrupting this synchronization slows tumor growth, suggesting that timing treatments could enhance effectiveness, paving the way for advancements in cancer therapy.

Antarctic Weddell seals may strategically time their most extreme dives. Seals preferentially did not make their longest dives that push physiological limits at mid-day. This minimized surface time…
