Managing Life: Human Biology 1918-1945
… it did from such diverse sources, the field of human biology was always a loosely organized project, whose elements were in dynamic tension with each other. Human biology's research and popularizations would also necessarily be in tension with earlier eugenic arguments about heredity, even as …

Somatic phylogenies: a window into human biology in health and disease
All somatic cells in the human body originate from the fertilised egg, or ‘zygote’. Co-ordinated processes of cell division and differentiation result in the incredible complexity observed following development. Thereafter, each tissue must maintain its function for the decades of life that follow, …

Methods and models of screening genomic variants
Genomes are the basis of human biology and human disease. Understanding the role of each gene on a healthy or diseased phenotype requires an intervention to causally link between genotype and phenotype. Advances in RNA-guided endonucleases have enabled such pooled screens in human cells. I first …

The Genetic, Molecular, And Cellular Bases Of Unidentified Primary Immunodeficiencies
… immune system is inseparable from every part of human biology. From cell intrinsic mechanisms of pathogen recognition to multi-cellular interactions over vast ranges of time and space, the immune system is both essential for protection from infection and central to the pathogenesis of many …

Imaging of Caenorhabditis Elegans with Near Infrared Spectrally Encoded Confocal Microscopy
… shares many gene orthologs and homologs with humans. C. elegans is widely used in large populations for genetic studies relevant to human biology and disease. Success of such studies frequently relies on the ability to image C. elegans structure at high-resolution and high-speed. This thesis …

Analýza struktury vzdělávacího obsahu v učebnicích přírodopisu pro základní školy
… textbooks is devoted to zoology, followed by the human body, botany, inanimate nature and to a lesser extent general biology, ecology, fungal biology and practical nature exploration. Furthermore, it has been shown that the proportional representation of the individual topics across the textbook …

Ultrahigh Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging – Technical Development and Translational Applications
… may be used to provide detailed images of the human body with excellent soft tissue contrast. Alongside its current widespread clinical applications for diagnosis and treatment, MRI allows researchers to measure structure and function of different tissue types in order to advance our …

Deciphering genetic associations using genome-wide epigenomics approaches
Genetic mapping of the drivers of complex human phenotypes and disease through the genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified thousands of causal genetic loci in the human population. However, genetic mapping approaches can often only reveal a particular causal locus, not the molecular …

Discovery and characterization of Cas13b, a differentially regulated RNA-targeting CRISPR system
RNA plays a significant role in human biology and disease, not only as messenger RNA encoding proteins but also as noncoding RNA regulating DNA, proteins, and other RNA species. Until recently, it has been challenging to target RNA in a simple, efficient manner. CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly …

Nutrition modulates the interaction between the bacterium Xenorhadbus nematophila and its lepidopteran host Spodoptera littoralis
… as pests as well as some similarities with human biology, hence much of what is known about nutrition and immunity comes from insects. Using the Egyptian cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and its natural pathogen Xenorhabdus nematophilus (Enterobacteriaceae) as …

An ontology of ethnicity based upon personal names: with implications for neighbourhood profiling
… key to a vast swathe of social science and human natural science. Yet ethnic origin is not easy to define, much less measure, and ascribing ethnic origins is one of the most contested and unstable research concepts of the last decade - not only in the social sciences, but also in human …

Informatics Approaches to Linking Mutations to Biological Pathways, Networks and Clinical Data
The information gained from sequencing of the human genome has begun to transform human biology and genetic medicine. The discovery of functionally important genetic variation lies at the heart of these endeavors, and there has been substantial progress in understanding the common patterns of …

The role of CCR7 axis in facilitating chemoresistance, radioresistance and induction of cell proliferation in cancer
… cytokines that play a multifaceted role in human biology. Chemokine receptor CCR7, activated by its ligands CCL19 & CCL21, is known to play a significant role in cancer metastasis. In view of the wider roles that chemokines play in the biology of the cell, we hypothesised that CCR7 could …

Investigation of the potential molecular recognition sites of two human vitamin C transporters.
… for recognising the roles played by vitamin C in human biology. The ability for this nutrient to be absorbed and occupied in cells is accomplished via the two sodium-coupled proteins, hSVCT1 and hSVCT2. The two transporters have varying roles in relation to ascorbate, nevertheless they are both …

Circulating sex hormone levels in rats: a systematic analysis of the literature and perinatal BPA study
… as a translational system for comparison to human biology. The anatomy, physiology, and molecular mechanisms of the reproductive system of these models should first be well characterized within the species prior to making inter-species predictions on the toxicant's effects. Here we conducted …

Synthetic biology approaches for engineering bacteria as living therapeutics
Bacteria and humans have a long-standing symbiotic relationship. As the details of their symbiosis continue to be elucidated, it has become clear that these host-resident bacteria are much more than spectators within the body. The ability of bacteria to manipulate human biology has inspired the …
