Ticking over: circadian systems across the kingdoms of life
The ability to anticipate the day–night cycle and direct physiology accordingly has proven to be a general phenomenon across all kingdoms of life. Considerable fitness benefits are conferred by an internal 24‐hour clock, which is known as a circadian clock. Extensive multi‐disciplinary studies in a range of model organisms have elucidated many of the components involved in generating and sustai...
متن کامل“the effect of risk aversion on the demand for life insurance: the case of iranian life insurance market”
abstract: about 60% of total premium of insurance industry is pertained?to life policies in the world; while the life insurance total premium in iran is less than 6% of total premium in insurance industry in 2008 (sigma, no 3/2009). among the reasons that discourage the life insurance industry is the problem of adverse selection. adverse selection theory describes a situation where the inf...
15 صفحه اولCircadian Biology: Fibroblast Clocks Keep Ticking
Real-time cellular imaging of gene expression has revealed that fibroblasts contain a robust, self-sustained and cell-autonomous circadian oscillator, with a range of properties that both overlap and contrast with those of the neural clock of the suprachiasmatic nuclei.
متن کاملOnly six kingdoms of life.
There are many more phyla of microbes than of macro-organisms, but microbial biodiversity is poorly understood because most microbes are uncultured. Phylogenetic analysis of rDNA sequences cloned after PCR amplification of DNA extracted directly from environmental samples is a powerful way of exploring our degree of ignorance of major groups. As there are only five eukaryotic kingdoms, two clai...
متن کاملElucidating the Ticking of an In Vitro Circadian Clockwork
A biochemical oscillator can be reconstituted in vitro with three purified proteins, that displays the salient properties of circadian (daily) rhythms, including self-sustained 24-h periodicity that is temperature compensated. We analyze the biochemical basis of this oscillator by quantifying the time-dependent interactions of the three proteins (KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC) by electron microscopy and...
