Human Biology
Human biology is the branch of biology that focuses on human beings and human populations; it encompasses all aspects of the human organism including genetics, ecology, anatomy and physiology, anthropology, and nutrition, among others. Human biology is related to other fields of biology such as medicine, primate biology, and biological anthropology.

The remarkable diversity we see between different cell types in the human body is governed by the specificity attained through transcriptional and epigenetic regulatory programs. Cancer is a...AUG 21, 2013 | 2:00 PMC.E. CREDITS
The human species is particularly prone to chromosome segregation errors during maternal meiosis in the egg and during post zygotic mitosis in the preimplantation embryo. In fact, aneuploidy...AUG 21, 2013 | 2:00 PMC.E. CREDITS
Aging is the major risk for diseases such as cancer, AD, type 2 Diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. We hypothesize that a progress in preventing these diseases will occur only if we...AUG 21, 2013 | 1:00 PMC.E. CREDITS
