Cryptochromes are fascinating light-sensing proteins that play a crucial role in regulating the biological clock of plants, animals, and humans. In this video, we explore how cryptochromes respond to blue light, control circadian rhythms, influence sleep–wake cycles, and even help some animals sense the Earth’s magnetic field. From plant growth and flowering to human sleep patterns and health, cryptochromes are a key link between light, time, and life.

🔬 What you’ll learn in this video:

What cryptochromes are and how they work

The role of cryptochromes in circadian rhythms

Differences between plant and animal cryptochromes

How cryptochromes affect sleep, metabolism, and health

The science behind magnetoreception and navigation in animals

🌍 Why cryptochromes matter:
Understanding cryptochromes helps scientists study sleep disorders, jet lag, seasonal behaviors, and even future medical and biological innovations.
