  • 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...
