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:
"Graves’ disease (GD) is an autoimmune condition in which autoantibodies to a thyroid receptor cause hyperthyroidism. In addition to thyroid disease, many GD patients also develop Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) – an eye disease causing double vision, protrusion of the eyeballs, and even blindness. Understanding the factors contributing to GO will help to develop improved treatments for this disease. A recent study focused on the effects of a unique factor – gut microbiota. Following up on results indicating that gut microbe variations correlated with thyroid disease severity, researchers used a mouse model of GD/GO to determine whether the gut microbiota plays a role in thyroid autoimmunity. Comparing female mice treated with antibiotics, probiotics, or fecal transplants from patients with severe GO, they found that treating mice with antibiotics reduced gut microbiota richness and decreased the severity of GD/GO..."
The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Students learn how the endocrine system works and compare it to the mail delivery system. Students discuss the importance of communication in human body systems and relate that to engineering and astronauts.
