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:
"In 2020, approximately 191,930 people were diagnosed with prostate cancer, and an estimated 33,330 people died from the disease. The most common therapies for prostate cancer involve androgen depletion via castration and/or drug treatment. However, the relapse and mortality rates of prostate cancer remain high, prompting a need for less invasive treatments. Now, a growing number of studies suggest that prostate cancer can be inhibited by the hormone melatonin. Melatonin, which is normally associated with the regulation of sleep, can inhibit prostate cancer partly by keeping androgen receptors out of cell nuclei, thus preventing excess androgen signaling and by activating MT1 signaling, ultimately reducing levels of the prostate cancer marker prostate-specific antigen. Melatonin also reduces tumor blood vessel growth and it regulates metabolism, affects differentiation, and induces death in prostate cancer cells..."
The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
