Intracellular potassium levels orchestrate circadian rhythmicity and cell division - Nature Communications

Circadian rhythms are ~24-hour biological cycles that influence processes from immunity to metabolism, and this study explores how intracellular potassium contributes to their regulation. The authors ...

A new blog is out on our website. Go check it out! Selen Dinge from @vanooijenlab.bsky.social discusses the intersection between art & science with Irene Aldazabal, fellow PhD student and artist. Irene has explored visual & spatial representations of biological time. biology.ed.ac.uk/plant-scienc...
