Circadian output network can buffer period variability (opens in new tab)

Circadian rhythms are biological oscillations that govern 24-hour physiological and behavioral processes across most organisms. Recent bioimaging studies have revealed that even individual cells can exhibit circadian rhythms. The period of cellular oscillations can fluctuate due to molecular noise in the circadian clock machinery. Whether regulatory networks downstream of the clock amplify or attenuate clock-derived period fluctuations remains p...
