for the journal Matrix Biology journal Merge to Matrix biology date May 2010 Matrix biology is the study of the structure and function of the extracellular matrix ECM and its interactions with proximal Cell biology cells . Matrix biologists usually do both basic research into structure and cellular interactions of the ECM and applied research into how these parameters are altered in disease or other pathological states. Matrix biologists can thus specialise in a particular class of molecule collagen proteoglycans elastin integrins fibrillins matrix metalloproteinases Specialities can also be by the particular ECM under study cartilage skin bone tumours Many matrix biologists also work closely with medical specialists and specialise in a particular disease or pathology rheumatology studying the change in ECM in cartilage and synovium in joints from rheumatoid or osteoarthritis patients orthopedics studying pathological and traumatically injured cartilage and tendon oncology studying how tumours and other cancers grow new ECM, metastasise and invade ECM of other tissues orthodontics studying how bone remodels around teeth dermatology studying ECM involved in wound healing and disease states such as scleroderma There are many matrix biology societies who hold meetings regularly all over the world.

It was a term used in contrast to anagenesis , which in present usage denotes the evolution of a single population into a new form without branching lines of descent.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Comparative biology is a multidisciplinary approach to understanding organismic diversity biodiversity that uses natural variation and disparity to elucidate phylogenetic history. Comparative biologists attempt to understand the diversity and complexity of life at all levels from genes, to anatomy, to behavior and the critical role of organisms in ecosystems. Integrating these specific research areas is the objective of comparative biology, a field that not only promises to give us a broader, more meaningful understanding of life on Earth, but also provides a foundation for our effort to secure a sustainable environmental future. An improved knowledge of life in all its complexity is key to dealing with the especially urgent challenges of today that come with the loss of species due to the destruction or disruption of natural habitats via human mediated processes such as global warming . Comparative biology encompasses EvolutionaryBiology , Systematics , Neontology , Paleontology , Ethology , Anthropology , and Biogeography as well as historical approaches to Developmental biology , Genomics , Physiology , Ecology and many other areas of the biological sciences. Whereas much of biology tends to focus on a single exemplar organism or a small subset of model organisms, comparative biology is a cross lineage approach to understanding the phylogenetic history and interactions among individuals or higher taxa . The comparative approach also has numerous applications in human health, genetics , biomedicine , and conservation biology .

In biology, a whorl might occur at the ends of different structures or occur in the middle of structures. It s often used to describe the structures of organs and used in the aid of identification. It s a cluster of cells or tissue that surround another, that starts at the same plain of axis or starts at one point and wraps around that point in an expanding circular pattern. The Hassall s corpuscle , formed from type VI epithelial reticular cells in the thymus , is an example of a whorl shaped structure. biology stub Category Biology terminology ... more details
