"Circadian rhythmicity" refers to the biological patterns that repeat approximately every 24 hours, such as sleep-wake cycles. It's like a natural internal clock that regulates our bodily functions and helps us follow a daily routine.
Full definition
For example, Sima Smadja Storz and her colleagues at this lab investigated the role of casein kinase 1 (CK1), which are enzymes that function as regulators
of circadian rhythmicity (research published in PLoS ONE, 2013).
«This [concept] has been previously described in other biological processes, such
as circadian rhythmicity, the cell cycle, and even stem cell pluripotency, but is shown here through a systematic analysis of a data - driven computational model.»
Zebrafish larvae normally
develop circadian rhythmicity when exposed to light / dark cycles, after which the animals are able to maintain this rhythmicity even under continuous light conditions.
«This research adds to the accumulating evidence that «time of day» or «
circadian rhythmicity» matters in medicine,» says Derk - Jan Dijk, of the University of Surrey, UK.
We measured gene expression of Cry1, Cry2 and Cry4 in the retina, muscle and brain of zebra finches over the circadian day to assess whether they showed
any circadian rhythmicity.
DanioVision is a complete system designed for exactly these types of experiments with zebrafish larvae, and is often used in studies related to drug development, safety pharmacology, behavioral genetics, and
circadian rhythmicity.
They can reveal information on stereotypic and epileptic behaviors,
circadian rhythmicity, motor control, movement disorders, neural development, and more.
It is for anybody performing research in drug development, safety pharmacology, behavioral genetics,
circadian rhythmicity and related research areas.
Way back in 1998 when I was graduating high school, Murphy and colleagues were screwing with «light - entrainable» and «food - entrainable» oscillators of
circadian rhythmicity (1998).
