Evening Chronotype, Disordered Eating Behavior, and Poor Dietary Habits in Bipolar Disorder

April 27, 2020
PMID: 32335894DOI: 10.1111/acps.13179 Abstract Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between evening chronotype, a proxy marker of circadian system dysfunction, and disordered eating behavior and poor dietary habits in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated 783 adults with BD. Chronotype was determined using Item 5 from the reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. The...

The circadian clock and darkness control natural competence in cyanobacteria

April 26, 2020
Taton, A., Erikson, C., Yang, Y. et al. The circadian clock and darkness control natural competence in cyanobacteria. Nat Commun 11, 1688 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-15384-9 Abstract The cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus is a model organism for the study of circadian rhythms. It is naturally competent for transformation—that is, it takes up DNA from the environment, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here,...
