Our new paper is out on bioRxiv and we’re really excited about it! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… We show that circadian clocks in the fly brain are far more distributed than the classic view. Huge kudos to the authors, especially Ines and Anne, and to our collaborators!!

“Remote and partial clocks expand the circadian neuronal network, driving widespread molecular...

Circadian clocks orchestrate daily physiology and behavioral rhythms, yet the extent to which cells lacking canonical clock components exhibit robust temporal regulation remains unclear. Here we...

For many years we knew humans have an internal, biological clock that helps them anticipate and adapt to the regular rhythm of the day. But how does this clock actually work? Laureates Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael Young found out how: nobelprize.org/prizes/medici…

Tissue-like multicellular development triggered by mechanical compression in archaea

The advent of clonal multicellularity is a critical evolutionary milestone, seen often in eukaryotes, rarely in bacteria, and only once in archaea. We show that uniaxial compression induces clonal...
