DOI: 10.1007/s00213-020-05757-9
Abstract: RATIONALE Metabolic dysfunction, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and substance abuse disorders are associated with disruptions in circadian rhythm and circadian clock gene machinery. While the effects of alcohol on several core components of the clock… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bpj.2019.06.027
Abstract: Cryptochromes function as flavin-binding photoreceptors in bacteria, fungi, algae, land plants, and insects. The discovery of an animal-like cryptochrome in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has expanded the spectral range of sensitivity of these receptors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gky621
Abstract: Abstract Photolyases and cryptochromes form an almost ubiquitous family of blue light photoreceptors involved in the repair and maintenance of DNA integrity or regulatory control. We found that one cryptochrome from the green alga Chlamydomonas… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsif.2018.0587
Abstract: Evidence is accumulating to support the hypothesis that some animals use light-induced radical pairs to detect the direction of the Earth's magnetic field. Cryptochrome proteins seem to be involved in the sensory pathway but it… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.781380
Abstract: Cryptochrome (CRY) is a conserved protein associated with the circadian clock in a broad range of organisms, including plants, insects, and mammals. In Drosophila, cry is a pleiotropic gene that encodes a blue light-dedicated circadian… read more here.
