We study the genetic and molecular bases of circadian rhythmicity and apply such knowledge to understand and manage human sleep and circadian abnormalities.
fun to report the effects of shuttling between adjacent time-zones on sleep! @Unipd_Medicina@UniOfSurrey Is academic mobility good for you? A case report on the effects of frequent, two-weekly travel across one time zone on sleep-wake indices https://t.co/GocUkhsJRI
The outer ear is a mammalian innovation but where did it come from? In our study in @Nature, @MathiThiru95 and colleagues find that the outer ear arose from modification of an ancestral gill program first originating in marine invertebrates. https://t.co/i05me2SXI4

New research in @Nature showing mitochondria can split into two different forms resolves a longstanding mystery of how mitochondria can simultaneously provide cells with energy and essential building blocks, even when resources are limited. https://t.co/mvAjSuD93w
How do mitochondria, the cell’s energy-producing organelles, perform competing metabolic processes?
Segregation into distinct populations — one that makes energy-storing ATP molecules and one that does not — could explain it

A cell videoed through a microscope. DNA in the nucleus (green) and the powerhouses/overlords of the cell, mitochondria (purple), are shown. #CellBiology
#PR Our ms on postsynaptic competition btw CaN/PP1 & PKA regulates mammalian sleep/wake cycles published in Nature. Congrats, Yimeng, Siyu, Daisuke and Koji! Wake/sleep roles of PKA & CaN first found in fly by @amitaseh in 2006 & @kume_kazuhiko in 2011 https://t.co/O9wKCsRPNd
The British Sleep Society recommends abolishing the twice-yearly clock change and reinstating Standard Time throughout the year for better sleep and circadian health. 🕰️
