This study examines how different lighting conditions affect circadian rhythms and physiology in diurnal Nile grass rats, finding that daylight-equivalent lighting produces stronger circadian entrainment and better physiological outcomes than fluorescent lighting.

This paper introduces ROCE to study cell signaling and motility by using light to control and observe cellular responses in various cell types.

This study identifies how sperm increase metabolic flux through aldolase to meet energy demands during capacitation, revealing conserved metabolic regulation mechanisms in mammalian cells.

This study shows that DJ-1 metabolites GA and DL can rescue fertility and mitochondrial dysfunction in multiple species, with GA having broader effects across models.
