Deciphering molecular pathways of circadian clock communication
The overarching objective of this interdisciplinary project is to elucidate mechanisms through which billions of individual clocks in the body communicate with each other and tick in harmony. The mammalian circadian timing system consists of a master clock in the brain and subsidiary oscillators in almost every cell of the body. Since these clocks anticipate environmental changes and function together to orchestrate daily physiology and behavior their temporal synchronization is critical. Our recent finding that oxygen serves as a resetting cue for circadian clocks points towards the unprecedented involvement of blood gases as time signals. We will apply cutting edge continuous…
