Read article - Cites comments by Jay Dunlap, chair and professor of molecular and systems biology, and professor of biochemistry and cell biology, about the recent news that three Americans won a Nobel Prize for discovering key genetic "gears" of the body's 24-hour biological clock. Dunlap, who studies biological clocks in bread mold, said the Nobel-winning work helped expose the molecular details behind daily rhythms and that such knowledge can be important in telling when to deliver drugs for maximum effect, and perhaps for developing new ones.
