Astrocyte Clocks and Glucose Homeostasis

March 19, 2021
Barca-Mayo O and López M (2021) Astrocyte Clocks and Glucose Homeostasis. Front. Endocrinol. 12:662017. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2021.662017 The endogenous timekeeping system evolved to anticipate the time of the day through the 24 hours cycle of the Earth’s rotation. In mammals, the circadian clock governs rhythmic physiological and behavioral processes, including the daily oscillation in glucose metabolism, food intake,...

Rhythmic glucose metabolism regulates the redox circadian clockwork in human red blood cells

January 21, 2021
Ch, R., Rey, G., Ray, S. et al. Rhythmic glucose metabolism regulates the redox circadian clockwork in human red blood cells. Nat Commun 12, 377 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-20479-4 Abstract Circadian clocks coordinate mammalian behavior and physiology enabling organisms to anticipate 24-hour cycles. Transcription-translation feedback loops are thought to drive these clocks in most of mammalian cells. However, red blood cells (RBCs),...
