How Biology Improves Health

Biology is the foundation of modern medicine. Understanding cells, genetics, and disease helps doctors diagnose and treat illnesses.

Real-World Connections

  • New vaccines are developed using knowledge of viruses and immune responses.
  • Genetic testing helps predict risk for certain diseases.
  • Stem cell research offers hope for regenerating damaged tissues.

Biology saves lives every day, from developing antibiotics to performing organ transplants.

Examples

  • Doctors use genetic tests to screen for inherited conditions like sickle cell anemia.

  • Researchers design new treatments for cancer based on how cells divide.
