Diagram to illustrate how the cryptochrome blue light receptor CRY2 interacts with the circadian clock protein PRR5 in a blue light-dependent manner.

Now that we're all on the same wavelength...

New findings by Shi et al. 💡illuminate💡the pathway through which blue #light influences the #circadian #clock via the CRY2–PRR5 module😉
