The circadian clock, which governs metabolic and physiological rhythms in diverse organisms, shares common features with the cell cycle. Yet, these two oscillatory systems seem to be fully independent of each other. Recent studies now reveal that some essential regulatory elements are common to both the cell cycle and circadian clock.
生物钟控制着多种生物体的代谢和生理节律,它与细胞周期有着共同的特征。然而,这两个振荡系统似乎彼此完全独立。最近的研究表明,细胞周期和生物钟有一些共同的关键调控元件。
