The suprachiasmatic nucleus: a 25-year retrospective

Journal of Biological Rhythms
D R Weaver

Abstract

The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the anterior hypothalamus contain the master circadian pacemaker in mammals. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the discovery of the SCN as the circadian clock, Charles A. Czeisler and Steven M. Reppert organized a meeting to review milestones and recent developments in the study of the SCN. The discovery that the SCN contain tissue necessary for generation of circadian rhythmicity was established by lesion studies published in 1972. The second phase of study demonstrated unequivocally that the SCN contain an autonomous circadian pacemaker. The principal studies in this period showed the presence of metabolic and electrical activity rhythms in the SCN in vivo and progressed to studies showing that the SCN maintain rhythmicity in vitro, demonstrating that the transplanted SCN can restore circadian function following destruction of the host SCN and ultimately showing that single SCN "clock cells" exhibit independent rhythms in firing rate. The third phase of study, aimed at identifying the biochemical and molecular mechanisms responsible for rhythmicity within the SCN, has begun with the identification of circadian mutants (tau mutant hamsters and Clock mutant mice) and the isolation of...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
