Summary
This systems biology study uses electrophysiology and computational modelling to characterize the membrane clock underlying circadian rhythms, which are critical to health and wellbeing. Understanding the mechanistic basis of the biological clock can inform lighting design strategies aimed at supporting healthy circadian entrainment.
