Exercise activates immune cells to release Oncostatin-M, which, in turn, instructs fat cells to breakdown fat. @CellRepMethods cell.com/cell-reports-m

How Reindeers sleep? Sleep recording from four Reindeers in Norway show they sleep differently in winter (24 h dark), summer (24h light) and in fall (long day). In summer, Reindeers can "almost sleep" while ruminating/digesting their food. cell.com/current-biolog

Regular exercise builds resilience against #Cancer by reducing systemic inflammation, eliminating #senescent T cells, increasing NK cells toxicity against cancer, even heating up tumors and many more... @NatRevImmunol nature.com/articles/s4157

How much $$$ disease burdens can be attributable to plastic in everyday life? In 2018, around $249 billion dollar worth of disease and disability burden in the US was attributable to the use of plastic. academic.oup.com/jes/article…

More than one in three athlete, exercise enthusiast, military personnel eats less than what the body needs. This Relative Energy Deficit in Sport (REDS) is often ignored. Nice to see a timely review in Endocrine Reviews. @WuTsaiAlliance academic.oup.com/edrv/articl…

Listen to this incredible story of Prof. Charlotte Helfrich-Förster. She made a huge circadian rhythm discovery when she was an unpaid lab volunteer. Lately her sheer curiosity led to discovering ~28days rhythms in humans. youtube.com/watch?v=pkzLFh

The low ranking of the US comes from large number of preventable deaths and high rate of suicides.

This morning with General Petraeus at Rancho Mirage Writers Festival in Palm Springs. It was fun sharing a few tricks for managing jet lag and discussing Circadian Code with General Petraeus.

This is the most important paper in the circadian field in over a decade. A completely new clock component that is evolutionarily conserved. @Eric_E_Zhang @susanksgolden @ @SRBR_Outreach rdcu.be/efxV8

Warm feet at bed time can make you fall asleep faster. This classic paper from 1999 used multiple temperature sensors, and sleep recording on study volunteers and found warm feet and cooler body made people fall asleep in ~10min after lights out. nature.com/articles/43366

Great to see women who were trained to do HIIT and TRE were more likely to follow this protocol over 2 years. TRE HIIT sustained muscle mass, and reduced abdominal fat. nature.com/articles/s4159

Delaying or preventing diabetes adds to longevity Diabetes takes away years of life. Diabetes diagnosed in 30s shaves 14-16y of life Those diagnosed in their 50s lose 6y of life in 70s lose 2y thelancet.com/journals/landi

Professor Ueli Schibler received the Kappers Medal at the European Biological Rhythm Society Congress, Lübeck, Germany. Earlier today I sat down with Ueli for an upcoming episode of Performance Around the Clock. Stay tuned.

Blood Flow to the brain has a circadian rhythm. Healthy adults lying on bed for >24h under dim light showed a robust circadian rhythm in Cerebral blood flow - high during night and low during the day. jcircadianrhythms.com/articl…

Exposure to natural daylight that is ~5 times brighter and have plenty of light in 460-520nm spectrum than the typical fluorescent or LED light in offices improves metabolism. @Cell_Metabolism cell.com/cell-metabolis

Moonlight doesn’t just shape the night sky—it shapes life itself. 🌑🌕 Red-necked nightjars, cann't find enough food on moonless nights, triggering energy-saving behaviors that ripple into migration and breeding timing. Even their yearly rhythms remain tied to the lunar cycle.

Your body clock doesn’t just regulate sleep—it also shapes cancer biology. ⏰ Circadian rhythms influence DNA repair, metabolism, immunity, and treatment response, making chronotherapy a promising strategy to improve cancer outcomes while reducing toxicity. #CircadianRhythm
