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:
"Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a relatively rare but serious condition – in fact, 60 percent of patients don’t live more than 5 years after diagnosis. Most treatment of the disease involves dilating the arteries to lower pressure. But increasingly, research suggests inflammation may be behind the condition – and newer therapies are on the horizon. A review of pulmonary arterial hypertension from this immunological perspective -- including specialized information for anesthesiologists -- is now available from the journal Anesthesiology. Pulmonary hypertension is defined as a resting mean pulmonary artery pressure of 25 millimeters of mercury or higher. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a type of pulmonary hypertension that mainly affects the blood vessels in the lung. Cases can be idiopathic, hereditary, or associated with infections or a variety of autoimmune or other systemic conditions. The disease is progressive and cannot be cured..."
