What is Conservation Biology?01:57

What is Conservation Biology?

24.0K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

17.7K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Synthetic Biology

5.5K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia

531
Schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder, arises from a complex interplay of biological factors, including genetic predisposition, structural brain abnormalities, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and developmental irregularities. These factors collectively contribute to the onset and progression of the disorder, which typically manifests in late adolescence or early adulthood.
Genetic Factors in Schizophrenia
The genetic basis of schizophrenia is strongly supported by family and twin...

Biological Influences on Intelligence01:30

Biological Influences on Intelligence

493
Intelligence is often thought to be linked to brain size, but the relationship is more complex than that. While brain size does correlate modestly with some abilities, like verbal skills, the connection is weaker for others, such as spatial reasoning. Other factors, like brain structure, also play crucial roles. For instance, despite Einstein's smaller-than-average brain, his parietal cortex, which is involved in spatial reasoning, was 15% wider, suggesting that neural density might matter...

Applications Of NMR In Biology01:25

Applications Of NMR In Biology

4.4K
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a very valuable analytical technique for researchers. It has been used for more than 50 years as an analytical tool. F. Bloch and E. Purcell formulated NMR in 1946 and won the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics  for their work. Biological macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and organic molecules including pharmaceutical compounds, can be studied using this versatile tool that exploits the magnetic properties of certain nuclei.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology, integrating social and biological sciences.
  • Focus on social inequalities in health.

Background:

  • Biological capital encompasses accumulated biological experiences.
  • Access to social, economic, and cultural capital depends on biological health and skills.
  • Epigenetic imprinting and embodied biological changes influence life success.

Discussion:

  • Socioeconomic environment across the lifecourse is a significant health risk factor.
  • Socioeconomic factors impact health via biological mechanisms.
  • Socially stratified pre-disease states linked to aging can be identified.

Key Insights:

  • Biological capital is influenced by socioeconomic factors.
  • Early life and lifecourse socioeconomic exposures affect health.
  • Biomarkers can reveal pre-disease states related to aging.

Outlook:

  • Understanding biological mechanisms is key to addressing health inequalities.
  • Biomarker analysis can guide interventions for healthy aging.
  • Promoting healthy aging requires addressing socioeconomic determinants of biological health.
