Opening new doors for the development of nanotechnologies in medicine and other fields, scientists recreate and compare two natural mechanisms to better program the timescale of molecular ...

Researchers at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel have discovered a "clockwork" mechanism that controls cell division in bacteria. In two publications, in "Nature Communications" und "PNAS", ...

Circadian timing refers to the ability of an organism deprived of external temporal cues to express physiological and behavioural rhythms with a periodicity of approximately 24 hours. This endogenous ...

(Nanowerk News) Living organisms monitor time – and react to it – in many different ways, from detecting light and sound in microseconds to responding physiologically in pre-programmed ways, via their ...

Researchers have discovered a 'clockwork' mechanism that controls cell division in bacteria. They report how a small signaling molecule starts the 'clock', which informs the cell about the right time ...
