Rhythmic potassium transport regulates the circadian clock in human red blood cells

Circadian rhythms usually rely on cyclic variations in gene expression. Red blood cells, however, display circadian rhythms while being devoid of nuclear DNA. Here, Henslee and colleagues show that circadian rhythms in isolated human red blood cells are dependent on rhythmic transport of K+ ions.
