Application of an <i>ex vivo</i> cellular model of circadian variation for bipolar disorder research: a proof of concept study
20 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Disruption of circadian function has been observed in several human disorders, including bipolar disorder (BD). Research into these disorders can be facilitated by human cellular models that evaluate external factors (zeitgebers) that impact circadian pacemaker activity. Incorporating a firefly luciferase reporter system into human fibroblasts provides a facile, bioluminescent readout that estimates...
