Mind Blowing Nobel Laureate Scientist 😅😅

More-or-less independent circadian rhythms are found in many organs and cells in the body outside the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), the "master clock". Indeed, neuroscientist Joseph Takahashi and colleagues stated in a 2013 article that "almost every cell in the body contains a circadian clock." Molecular circadian rhythm is not break through in my opinion in the inner clock in behavior . But protein cycle or. MRNA etc. look a bit different but not to such a high rank,

is it possible to find a mutant gene that affects the circadian rhythm in a person with sleep deprivation or depression? and lets say somehow inhibit that gene so as to fix the problem(gene therapy)? .. i believe that what these scientists discovered is only the beginning... thank you

Can the Nobel organization afford to have simultaneous translation? I don't understand sweedish.

Here is a thought I had, 1 day on mars is 24Hrs and 40 minutes long. SpaceX plans to do a manned mission to Mars by 2024, I imagine that by 2050'ish we would have begun colonizing mars on a greater scale. Its my hypothesis that the 40 minute gap will cause some alterations with the circadian system of the future colonists, that may not be so noticeable for a short span but on long-term may. This breakthrough may help find out if we could alter our circadian system, naturally or genetically. Thoughts?

Does the rythm change when animals undergo hybernation?

Chinese tradition medicine talk about circadian clock 2000+ years ago, what a coincidence. And it has time frame for each different organs to work the best. And human should live according to it.

I'm absolutely tired... To be honest.
