Light is the most important Zeitgeber for entraining animal activity rhythms to the 24-h day. In
all animals, the eyes are the main visual organs that are not only responsible for motion and …

Our highly seasonal world restricts insect activity to brief portions of the year. This feature
necessitates a sophisticated interpretation of seasonal changes and enactment of …

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) enhance pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidant
responses. In affective disorders, recent precision nomothetic psychiatry studies disclosed …

Cryptochromes (CRYs) are flavoproteins that are sensitive to blue light, first identified in
Arabidopsis and then in Drosophila and mice. They are evolutionarily conserved and play …

The biophysical and molecular mechanisms that enable animals to detect magnetic fields
are unknown. It has been proposed that birds have a light-dependent magnetic compass …

Mosquitoes pose widespread threats to humans and other animals as disease vectors [1].
Day-versus night-biting mosquitoes occupy distinct time-of-day niches [2, 3]. Here, we …

Cryptochrome (CRY) is a short-wavelength light-sensitive photoreceptor expressed in a
subset of circadian neurons and eyes in Drosophila that regulates light-evoked circadian …

It is known that the circadian clock in Drosophila can be sensitive to static magnetic fields
(MFs). Man-made radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields have been shown to have …

Exposure to high doses of solar long wavelength ultraviolet radiation (UVA) damages
human skin via reactive oxygen species (ROS). Whether physiological UVA doses also …

CRYPTOCHROMES (CRYs) are structurally related to ultraviolet (UV)/blue-sensitive DNA
repair enzymes called photolyases but lack the ability to repair pyrimidine dimers generated …
