  • Investigating connections between the circadian system and aging in Drosophila melanogaster

    Creator:
    Long, Dani M.
    Abstract:
    Circadian clocks coordinate molecular, cellular, physiological, and behavioral processes with the 24-hour solar day. While clock functions are well understood in young animals, it is not clear how aging or neurodegenerative disease affects the various levels of the circadian system. A common symptom of many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease...

  • Exploring functional links between circadian clocks, neurodegeneration, and aging in Drosophila melanogaster

    Creator:
    Rakshit, Kuntol
    Abstract:
    Circadian clocks are endogenous molecular mechanisms that coordinate daily rhythms in gene expression, cellular activities, and physiological functions with external day/night cycles. Breakdown of circadian rhythms such as sleep/wake cycles is associated with the onset of several neurological diseases; however, it is not clear whether disruption of rhythms is a...

  • Involvement of circadian clock genes in reproduction of Drosophila melanogaster

    Creator:
    Beaver, Laura M.
    Abstract:
    Daily (circadian) rhythms exist at molecular, physiological, and behavioral levels and coordinate many life functions. This coordination is believed to contribute to an organism's fitness, however, such contributions have not been convincingly demonstrated in any animal. The most significant measure of fitness is the reproductive output of the individual and...
