Cryptochrome mediates light-dependent magnetosensitivity of Drosophila's circadian clock.
Since 1960, magnetic fields have been discussed as Zeitgebers for circadian clocks, but the mechanism by which clocks perceive and process magnetic information has remained unknown. Recently, the radical-pair model involving light-activated photoreceptors as magnetic field sensors has gained conside...
