As the microbiome field moves from descriptive and associative research to mechanistic and
interventional studies, being able to account for all confounding variables in the …

'Accounting for the sensory abilities of animals is critical in experimental design.'No
researcher would disagree with this statement, yet it is often the case that we inadvertently …

Light enables vision and exerts widespread effects on physiology and behavior, including
regulating circadian rhythms, sleep, hormone synthesis, affective state, and cognitive …

Nearly all physiological and behavioral processes display daily rhythms driven by
endogenous circadian clocks—molecular representations of the external solar day …

Circadian rhythms dynamically regulate sex differences in metabolism and immunity, and
circadian disruption increases the risk of metabolic disorders. We investigated the role of sex …

Introduction Most mammalian physiology is orchestrated by the circadian clock, including
drug transport and metabolism. As a result, efficacy and toxicity of many drugs are …

The designs of in vivo, in vitro and in silico studies do not adequately reflect the
characteristics of long-term occupational EMF exposure; the higher exposure levels …

Background & Aims The liver ensures organismal homeostasis through modulation of
physiological functions over the course of the day. How liver diseases such as nonalcoholic …

Background Light is a key environmental regulator of physiology and behaviour. Mistimed or
insufficient light disrupts circadian rhythms and is associated with impaired health and well …

Numerous physiological and behavioral processes in living organisms exhibit strong
rhythmicity and are regulated within a 24-hour cycle. These include locomotor activity and …
