The author comments on what biology educators accomplished in the 2007-2008 academic year. She asks if educators improved students' understanding of science, developed skepticism of biological issues in the media, and enhanced their scientific literacy. Citing findings from the 2002 report, "The ...
Hope and love are popular themes of literature and art in many human societies. The human physiology of love and hope is less well understood. This review presents evidence that the lack of love and/or hope delays growth disturbs development and maturati
homeostasis is a mechanism that maintains a stable internal environment despite the changes present in the external environment. the body maintains homeostasis by controlling a host of variables ranging from body temperature, blood ph, blood glucose levels to fluid balance, sodium, potassium and calcium...

how circadian clocks modulate these responses at a molecular level, and how exercise can influence this biology, is a major knowledge gap. This lecture will cover mechanisms that underpin the relationship between the circadian cloc...
Though it sounds important, I imagine it will only be a matter of time before we somehow find an exception to the rule of central dogma. Like everything else in biology and other sciences, it is not necessarily "true" so much as "not dis-proven yet". ...

“Biology is defined as the study of living organisms, their origins, anatomy, morphology, physiology, behaviour, and distribution.” Life is teeming in every corner of the globe – from the frozen Arctics to the searing Sahara. And with over 8.7 million species documented till date, the eart...
In fact, these traits are precisely what make a cell a cell. What Defines a Cell? Figure 1: Transport proteins in the cell membrane A plasma membrane is permeable to specific molecules that a cell needs. Transport proteins in the cell membrane allow for selective passage of specific ...
The rise of studies of animal personalities is closely related to a recent trend in ecology, behavioural and evolutionary biology that draws attention to how individual organisms differ from each other and that focusses on the causes, consequences and underlying mechanisms of individual differences (e...
