Circadian pacemakers: How clock properties relate to their cellular properties

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

Circadian (∼24 hour) pacemaking mechanisms exist within single cells. Which cellular properties contrive to produce a precise clockworks, and which cell properties are downstream of it? The literature is conflicted as to whether membrane excitability contributes to the mechanism. Now, a new conditional genetic strategy argues excitability is largely dispensable.
