Circadian rhythm and cell cycle : two synchronized processes

Rosamaria Cannavo

Circadian rhythms are biological processes found in most living organisms, displaying a roughly 24-hour period, responding primarily to light darkness cycles in an organism's environment. At the cellular level, the circa-24h rhythmicity is generated by a m ...

Diurnal variations of hormonal secretion, alertness and cognition in extreme chronotypes under different lighting conditions

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Apiparn Borisuit, Lenka Maierova

Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior are modulated by external factors such as light or temperature. We studied whether self-selected office lighting during the habitual waking period had a different impact on alertness, cognitive performance and h ...

CAST: An automated segmentation and tracking tool for the analysis of transcriptional kinetics from single-cell time-lapse recordings

Felix Naef, Simon Blanchoud, Damien Lionel Nicolas, Benjamin Zoller, Onur Tidin

Fluorescence and bioluminescence time-lapse imaging allows to investigate a vast range of cellular processes at single-cell or even subcellular resolution. In particular, time-lapse imaging can provide uniquely detailed information on the fine kinetics of ...

Spatio-temporal synchronization of biological oscillators

Jonathan Bieler

The circadian clock is a cell-autonomous and self-sustained oscillator with a period of about 24 hours that controls many aspects of cellular physiology. The cell cycle is also a fundamental periodic process, with a period in the range of one day in mammal ...

Modelling 'non-visual' effects of daylighting in a residential environment

Marilyne Andersen, Sharon Jane Gochenour

The importance of light not only as a therapeutic tool but as an essential element of healthy living has been highlighted by the recent discovery of a specialized photoreceptor in the eye responsible for synchronizing our internal circadian pacemaker. This ...

Simulation-based evaluation of non-visual responses to daylight: proof-of-concept study of healthcare re-design

Marilyne Andersen, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir

The discovery of a novel non-rod, non-cone photoreceptor in the human eye that mediates a number of effects on the brain has sparked a growing interest in incorporating these non-visual effects of light into the design process of buildings. Appropriately–t ...
