Melanopsin mediates thermal activation of molecular clock genes in murine preadipocytes
bioluminescence and a phase delay in comparison to control cells. These findings suggest that temperature detection through melanopsin could be an important pathway for peripheral clock modulation, with direct implications for metabolism control.
