Biological clocks.
Circadian rhythms describe biological phenomena that oscillate with an approximately 24-hour cycle. These rhythms include blood pressure, body temperature, hormone levels, the number of immune cells in blood, and the sleep-wake cycle. In this paper, we will focus on common genes between species that are responsible for determining the circadian behavior, especially some transcription factors (i...
متن کاملBiological switches and clocks.
To introduce this special issue on biological switches and clocks, we review the historical development of mathematical models of bistability and oscillations in chemical reaction networks. In the 1960s and 1970s, these models were limited to well-studied biochemical examples, such as glycolytic oscillations and cyclic AMP signalling. After the molecular genetics revolution of the 1980s, the fi...
متن کاملBiological clocks and ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTA) remains a major public health problem because of poor understanding of the mechanisms. Initiation of VTA in animal models and in patients usually requires intense metabolic or electrical stimuli not often observed for spontaneous arrhythmias, suggesting that profound but clinically silent electrophysiological changes...

adds, and dealt, in part, with the importance of the structure of fatty acids both as components of animal diets and animal tissue and as factors in blood coagulation and thrombosis. The second symposium discussed the newer techniques used to study lipids, especially the recent developments in gas-liquid, liquid-solid, and thin-layer chromatography. From the brief summary given above, it will b...
متن کاملBiological clocks and rhythms in intertidal crustaceans.
Animals with habitats within the intertidal zone are exposed to environmental cycles that include the ebb and flow of tidal waters, changes in tidal levels associated with the lunar month, the light-dark cycle and the alternation of seasons. This intricate temporal environment results in the selection of biological timing systems with endogenous clocks that can oscillate with this wide range of...
