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:
"Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the growth of bone where it doesn’t belong, such as in muscle tissue HO is most often observed after joint surgery in patients with severe trauma and can cause swelling, pain, nerve compression, and other complications While effective treatment and prevention strategies are currently lacking researchers are beginning to zero in on the molecular pathways that trigger HO It all starts with hypoxia, a state of oxygen deprivation that accompanies tissue damage Hypoxia activates the protein HIF-1α In certain patients, HIF-1α acts as a gateway to HO in at least three ways By stimulating proteins that lay the groundwork for new bone and cartilage By promoting blood vessel formation And by suppressing a protein that normally limits bone growth Drugs that reduce hypoxia or block HIF-1α could therefore prove powerful helping to stop HO early in its development.."
The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
