Recent discoveries demonstrate a critical role for circadian rhythms and sleep in immune
system homeostasis. Both innate and adaptive immune responses—ranging from leukocyte …

The time it takes for malaria parasites to develop within a mosquito, and become
transmissible, is known as the extrinsic incubation period, or EIP. EIP is a key parameter …

Despite an undergraduate degree in Zoology and an MSc on the behavior of voles, I have
long been fascinated by theoretical biology and the relationship between models and data …

Climate change is expected to impact across every domain of society, including health. The
majority of the world's population is susceptible to pathological, infectious disease whose life …

The circadian clock of the plant model Arabidopsis thaliana modulates defense mechanisms
impacting plant–pathogen interactions. Nevertheless, the effect of clock regulation on …

Biological rhythms, from circadian control of cellular processes to annual cycles in life
history, are a main structural element of biology. Biological rhythms are considered adaptive …

Circadian rhythms are intrinsic 24-hour oscillations found in nearly all life forms. They
orchestrate key physiological and behavioral processes, allowing anticipation and response …

The 24-h day involves cycles in environmental factors that impact organismal fitness. This is
thought to select for organisms to regulate their temporal biology accordingly, through …

The Plasmodium cell cycle, wherein millions of parasites differentiate and proliferate, occurs
in synchrony with the vertebrate host's circadian cycle. The underlying mechanisms are …

Biological rhythms are thought to have evolved to enable organisms to organize their
activities according to the earth's predictable cycles, but quantifying the fitness advantages …
