Summary: A collaborative study by Mount Sinai and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has revealed a new role for monoamine neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and histamine in regulating circadian rhythms and behavior. The research identifies how these neurotransmitters chemically bond to histone proteins, influencing gene expression patterns and neural activity.

By Jonathan Johnston, University of Surrey; Alan Flanagan, University of Surrey, and Alex Johnstone, University of AberdeenThe body has a network of daily (circadian) clocks that influences most areas of our health, including sleep and metabolism. A central clock in the brain is closely tied to daily sleep rhythms. But there are also clocks in other tissues – such as liver, muscle and fat – and they play an important role in metabolism.

Summary: A study by researchers at UC San Diego reveals that artificial light disrupts the circadian rhythms of honey bees, reducing their sleep and impairing behaviors crucial for their role as pollinators. The findings highlight the potential threat of light pollution to bee health and, consequently, to the ecosystems and food security that rely on their pollination services.

Summary: A new study from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania has discovered that the liver communicates with the brain via the vagus nerve to regulate eating patterns based on the body’s circadian rhythm. This internal clock helps signal when the body should consume food, but disruptions—such as working night shifts or irregular hours—can interfere with these signals, potentially leading to overeating and increased risk of weight gain and diabetes.

Summary: Recent research shows that the immune system interacts with the body’s circadian clock, influencing fat storage and body temperature regulation. An immune molecule in fat tissue, interleukin-17A (IL-17A), plays a key role in managing fat storage and offers potential for treatments targeting metabolic disorders, especially relevant for those with disrupted sleep and eating patterns.

To evaluate the association between irregular sleep duration and incident diabetes in a U.K. population over 7 years of follow-up. Among 84,421 UK Biobank participants (mean age: 62 years) who were free of diabetes at the time of providing accelerometer data in 2013–2015 and prospectively followed until May 2022, sleep duration variability was quantified by the within-person SD of 7-night accelerometer-measured sleep duration.

Genome-wide DNA methylation (DNAm) profiling is indispensable for unveiling how DNAm regulates biological pathways and individual phenotypes. However, managing and analyzing extensive DNAm data generated from large cohort studies present computational obstacles. Apache Parquet is a data file format that allows for efficient data storage, retrieval and manipulation, alleviating computational hurdles associated with conventional row-based formats.
