UBIQUITOUS CLOCKS. “The discovery of ‘clock genes’ led to the realization that the capacity for circadian gene expression is widespread throughout the body. Using circadian gene reporter methods, one can demonstrate that most peripheral organs and tissues can express circadian oscillations in isolation, yet still receive and may require input from the SCN in vivo. The cell autonomous clock has been found to be ubiquitous, and almost every cell in the body contains a circadian clock.” (SCN = Suprachiasmatic nucleus).
