#Circadianclock as #pacemaker of #life: A single clock #signal initiates #geneswitching within a #cell. This #rhythmic process regulates the #activation/#deactivation of "morning"/"evening" genes. M. Fang et al. (2026) reproduced the #circadiansystem of #Synechococcus #elongatus (#Cyanobacteriota) within a test tube.They show that the overall #complexity of a cell is controlled by this genetic activity, which might find applications in #biotechnology.

Urban light pollution alters nighttime hormones in sharks, study shows
Artificial light from major coastal cities can disrupt the nighttime biology of sharks, according to new research that provides the first-ever measurements of melatonin—a hormone tied to biological rhythms—in wild sharks.

Circadian clock communication during homeostasis and ageing - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
Communication between the circadian clocks of different cell and tissue types supports the daily rhythms of homeostatic processes that maintain bodily health. Ageing leads to a decline in this complex communication network to the detriment of these daily homeostatic rhythms. This Review discusses clock communication pathways in the healthy versus aged state and explores the potential of modulating these communication pathways to slow circadian rhythm decline with ageing.

Unlocking Longevity: New Study Reveals Brain-Muscle Clock Synchronization Prevents Aging
A recent study in mice has revealed that molecular circadian clocks in the brain and muscle tissue work together to maintain muscle health and daily function. This research could offer crucial insights into how disruptions in circadian rhythms contribute to health problems related to aging and may s
