Coordination of circadian timing in mammals
Abstract
Time in the biological sense is measured by cycles that range from milliseconds to years. Circadian rhythms, which measure time on a scale of 24 h, are generated by one of the most ubiquitous and well-studied timing systems. At the core of this timing mechanism is an intricate molecular mechanism that ticks away in many different tissues throughout the body. However, these independent rhythms are tamed by a master clock in the brain, which coordinates tissue-specific rhythms according to light input it receives from the outside world.

“The 24-h rhythm of cortisol expressed in humans is driven by the central circadian pacemaker located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus [56, 57], which entrains all other peripheral clocks throughout the body to coordinate bodily processes with the environment [58, 59].”

In the citing paper
“In individual cells, molecular rhythms are generated by a transcriptional–translational feedback loop involving core transcriptional activators — circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK), the closely related neuronal PAS domain protein 2 (NPAS2) and brain and muscle ARNT-like protein 1 (BMAL1) — that regulate the expression of many genes, including those encoding period (PER) and cryptochr”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
