Journal ArticleDOI

Histone Lysine Demethylase JARID1a Activates CLOCK-BMAL1 and Influences the Circadian Clock

TL;DR: Depletion of JARID1a in mammalian cells reduced Per promoter histone acetylation, dampened expression of canonical circadian genes, and shortened the period of circadian rhythms, indicating a nonredundant role in circadian oscillator function.
Journal ArticleDOI

The emerging roles of melanopsin in behavioral adaptation to light

TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of the emerging roles of melanopsin and ipRGCs offer new avenues to understand the role of ambient light in sleep, alertness, dependent physiologies and potential pharmacological intervention as well as lifestyle modifications to improve the quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small-molecule antagonists of melanopsin-mediated phototransduction

TL;DR: The identification of a potent synthetic melanopsin antagonist with in vivo activity is described and the discovery of opsinamides raises the prospect of therapeutic control of the melanopsIn phototransduction system to regulate light-dependent behavior and remediate pathological conditions.
