Cell type-specific functions of period genes revealed by novel adipocyte and hepatocyte circadian clock models.

In animals, circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior result from coherent rhythmic interactions between clocks in the brain and those throughout the body. Despite the many tissue specific clocks, most understanding of the molecular core clock mechanism comes from studies of the suprachiasmatic n...
