We’re all sensitive to light at night, but some are much, much more sensitive than others

November 6, 2019
by Elise McGlashan, PhD & Parisa Vidafar, PhD on November 5th 2019 in Clocks in the Spotlight Humans evolved in an environment with only very bright (sun) or very dim (moon or fire) sources of light. Today, artificial lighting enables us to spend hours per day at intermediate light levels. Our recent study shows that the response of the...

High sensitivity and interindividual variability in the response of the human circadian system to evening light

November 6, 2019
PNAS June 11, 2019 116 (24) 12019-12024; first published May 28, 2019 https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1901824116 Significance: Electric lighting has fundamentally altered how the human circadian clock synchronizes to the day/night cycle. Exposure to light after dusk is pervasive in the modern world. We examined group-level sensitivity of the circadian system to evening light and the degree to which sensitivity varies between individuals. We...

Circadian (De)regulation in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

November 6, 2019
PMID: 31151182 PMCID: PMC6600143 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20112662 Abstract Head and neck cancer encompass different malignancies that develop in and around the throat, larynx, nose, sinuses and mouth. Most head and neck cancers are squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) that arise in the flat squamous cells that makeup the thin layer of tissue on the surface of anatomical structures in the head and...

Where the sun doesn’t shine? Skin UV exposure reflected in poop

October 25, 2019
October 24, 2019 , Frontiers Excerpts: The sun can indeed shine out of your backside, suggests research. Not because you’re self-absorbed, but because you’ve absorbed gut-altering UV radiation. This is the first study to show that skin exposure to UVB light alters the gut microbiome in humans. Published in Frontiers in Microbiology, the analysis suggests that vitamin D mediates the change—which...

The Significance of Primary Tumors in the NTP Study of Chronic Rat Exposure to Cell Phone Radiation

October 23, 2019
Publisher: IEEE Author James C. Lin Abstract Most media accounts of the U.S. National Toxicology Program’s (NTP’s) final report have understandably focused on the statistically significant finding of “clear evidence” that both GSM and code-division multiple access (CDMA)-modulated 900-MHz wireless RF radiation led to the development of malignant schwannoma, a rare form of tumor, in...

New Monograph – ADVERSE EFFECTS OF WIRELESS RADIATION by Ronald N. Kostoff, Ph.D

October 21, 2019
CITATION TO MONOGRAPH Kostoff RN. Adverse Effects of Wireless Radiation 2019. PDF. https://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/61946 This monograph identifies adverse effects of wireless radiation as reported in the premier biomedical literature. It shows that most of the laboratory experiments that have been performed are not designed to elicit the more severe adverse effects reflective of the real-life operating...

Artificial light-at-night – a novel lifestyle risk factor for metabolic disorder and cancer morbidity

October 20, 2019
Abstract Both obesity and breast cancer are already recognized worldwide as the most common syndromes in our modern society. Currently, there is accumulating evidence from epidemiological and experimental studies suggesting that these syndromes are closely associated with circadian disruption. It has been suggested that melatonin (MLT) and the circadian clock genes both play an important...
