Functional BiologyFunctional biology explores how an organism's body, for example, the human body, works in health and disease.
Ultimately, human health depends on the normal functioning of the cells, tissues, and organ systems of the body. Understanding of disease requires determining how the function of cells, tissues and organs becomes abnormal. Thus, studying the normal function of body systems leads on to an exploration of how pathological processes impact on our health.
Physiology is a key component of Functional Human Biology. Knowledge of physiology forms the basis of understanding the processes that support life and is crucial to understanding the abnormalities in life processes that lead to disease. For example, to understand asthma, we need to understand how lungs work; to understand diabetes, we need knowledge of blood sugar regulation; to understand heart disease the intricacies of heart muscle function have to be explored; and so on, through all the organ systems of the body.
Guava Systems and Assays provide a quick, easy, and cost-effective way to study cells and cellular processes. In addition, the optional built-in 96-well plate and tube sample format offers a convenient way to conduct multiparameter
analyses when exploring the complex interplay of cells, tissues, and organs.
