Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Leukemia relapse after conventional treatments is difficult to treat and has high patient mortality. Relapse is driven by the reawakening of previously quiescent cancer cells. Traditional treatments are ineffective against quiescent cells, as they instead target rapidly dividing cells. A new study investigated a potential dual-target treatment, C212, in cell culture. C212 is a derivative of curcumin, a compound that has shown anticancer properties in previous research. C212 was effective against both growing and quiescent leukemia cells. C212 drives quiescent leukemia cells deeper into dormancy by increasing their exit threshold, and then kills these deep-quiescent cells. This differs from previous strategies that awaken quiescent cells to kill, which runs the risk of wakening treatment-resistant subpopulation of cells. Molecular docking and experimental analyses showed that C212 could bind to Hsp90 and interferes with its function..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
