Scientists at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health have identified a protein in the visual system of mice that appears to be key for stabilizing the body's circadian rhythms by buffering the brain's response to light.

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and KU Leuven have discovered a suite of genes that influence head shape in humans.
<p>Researchers at the <a href="https://www.pitt.edu/">University of Pittsburgh</a> and <a href="https://www.kuleuven.be/english/kuleuven">KU Leuven</a> have discovered a suite of genes that influence head shape in humans. These findings, published this week in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-43237-8"><em>Nature Communications</em></a>, help explain the diversity of human head shapes and may also offer important clues about the genetic basis of conditions that affect the skull, such as cranio...
