The biological events which will shape your life begin at the moment of conception. Biologists have resorted to a reductionist approach, which allows simplified interpretations of what are a continuous and complex series of events.

The biological events occurring in the body are complex and remaining very challenging to decode. The expression, production, secretion and interaction of proteins, peptides and small molecules which control many types of events often occur in a fast manner and at low concentrations. Thus stages are not to be thought of as discrete and isolated steps, but as landmarks in a continuous developmental, and then living process.

1. The Events Controlled by the SCF/c-kit signaling pathway

The biological events controlled by the SCF/c-kit signaling pathway are implicated in the generation and migration of hematopoietic stem cells (Witte, 1990 ; Fleming, 1993). In that study, they have investigated if the survival from lethal irradiation governed by the SCF/c-kit signaling pathway is mediated by the slug transcription factor.

The biological events behind a particular process or disease state can be configured in more complete terms than ever before. A crucial part of this radical new wave of biological experimentation lies in data analysis, with bioinformaticians necessarily taking an integral role. The biological events described below coincide with clinical stages in which patients experience a cascade of increasing symptoms that vary in intensity.

2. Events leading to Schizophrenia

The biological events leading to schizophrenia are still largely unknown. Several mechanisms involving acetylcholine, dopamine, glutamate, and their corresponding receptors and factors that are linked to subsequent events have been proposed to explain the biochemical phenomena behind the illness (for review, see Pearlson 2000).

3. Events that follow a bone fracture

The biological events that follow a bone fracture constitute a tissue regenerative process, whereby the injured tissue is ultimately restored with bone of structural and functional integrity. This regenerative process is characterized by a number of complex, interdependent stages, which involve cellular and biochemical events that orchestrate the proliferation and differentiation of many different cell types, as well as the production of numerous proteins.

4. Biological events that occur during sleep

The biological events that take place during sleep are subtle, and many seem to occur at a cellular level within the brain . These events are difficult to observe, and as a consequence our understanding of sleep has developed slowly.

5. The events which occur in the body during cancer treatment

Genetic analysis of samples which if able to identify the right events could offer valuable information about how or whether a tumor is responding to treatment, helping physicians and patients make treatment decisions. Technologies developed through research that explores the interface of engineering and cancer biology could enhance the efficacy of clinical trials and offer.

These are just some of the diseases and conditions which the medical scientists are studying. We wish them well!
