New insight into the circadian clock of Drosophila melanogaster
New insight into the circadian clock of Drosophila melanogaster. The higher temperatures the higher the temperature, the more rapid the physiological processes happen. However, there's a lone exception known as the circadian clock that regulates the sleep-wake cycles in living things. The most interesting question for researchers is why the internal clock functions in a way that is almost constant regardless of fluctuations in temperature. This is a phenomenon referred to as “temperature compensation”. Studies have shown that various molecular mechanisms play a role in this. A biologists' team, led by prof. Ralf Stanewsky from the University of Munster (Germany)…
