(PhysOrg.com) -- New research takes the study of biological rhythms, like the heart beat, to a new level: the cell cycle. Scientists at Rockefeller University have proposed that the orderly succession of events in cell division is governed by a master oscillator, coordinating with independent oscillators that control individual events. Their model suggests that this orderly orchestration is analogous to how our circadian rhythm syncs with the light-dark cycle in our environment.
