How our biological clocks are locked in sync

Published:14.08.19 — Scientists from EPFL's Institute of Bioengineering have discovered that our circadian clock and our cell-cycle are in fact, synchronized.

The birth and death of proteins in a single cell

Published:14.08.19 — A new method developed by EPFL bioengineers has disentangled the “see-saw” balance of protein synthesis and degradation in single cells.

Gene rhythm: how the circadian clock regulates 3D chromatin structure

Published:14.08.19 — EPFL biologists and geneticists have uncovered how the circadian clock orchestrates the 24-hour cycle of gene expression by regulating the structure of chromatin, the tightly wound DNA-protein complex of the cell. The work is published in Genes & Development.
