  • Human Microbiome: Your Body Is an Ecosystem
    Human Microbiome: Your Body Is an Ecosystem This StepRead is based on an article provided by the American Museum of Natural History. What Is an Ecosystem? An ecosystem is a community of living things. The living things in an ecosystem interact with each other and with the non-living things around them. One example of an ecosystem is a forest. Every forest has a mix of living things, like plants and animals, and non-living things, like air, sunlight, rocks, and water. The mix of living and non-living things in each forest is unique. It is different from the mix of living and non-living things in any other ecosystem. You Are an Ecosystem The human body is also an ecosystem. There are trillions tiny organisms living in and on it. These organisms are known as microbes and include bacteria, viruses, and fungi. There are more of them living on just your skin right now than there are people on Earth. And there are a thousand times more than that in your gut! All the microbes in and on the human body form communities. The human body is an ecosystem. It is home to trillions of microbes. These communities are part of the ecosystem of the human Photo Credit: Gaby D’Alessandro/AMNH body. Together, all of these communities are known as the human microbiome. No two human microbiomes are the same. Because of this, you are a unique ecosystem. There is no other ecosystem like your body. Humans & Microbes Microbes have been around for more than 3.5 billion years.

    1 Introduction to cell biology 1.1 Motivation Why is the understanding of cell mechancis important? cells need to move and interact with their environment ◦ cells have components that are highly dependent on mechanics, e.g., structural proteins ◦ cells need to reproduce / divide ◦ to improve the control/function of cells ◦ to improve cell growth/cell production ◦ medical appli- cations ◦ mechanical signals regulate cell metabolism ◦ treatment of certain diseases needs understanding of cell mechanics ◦ cells live in a mechanical environment ◦ it determines the mechanics of organisms that consist of cells ◦ directly applicable to single cell analysis research ◦ to understand how mechanical loading affects cells, e.g. stem cell differentation, cell morphology ◦ to understand how mechanically gated ion channels work ◦ an understanding of the loading in cells could aid in developing struc- tures to grow cells or organization of cells more efficiently ◦ can help us to understand macrostructured behavior better ◦ can help us to build machines/sensors similar to cells ◦ can help us understand the biology of the cell ◦ cell growth is affected by stress and mechanical properties of the substrate the cells are in ◦ understanding mechan- ics is important for knowing how cells move and for figuring out how to change cell motion ◦ when building/engineering tissues, the tissue must have the necessary me- chanical properties ◦ understand how cells is affected by and affects its environment ◦ understand how mechanical factors alter cell behavior (gene expression)

  • The Human Body Is Like a Complex Machine, with Many Little Parts That Work by Themselves Or with Other Parts to Perform Specific Functions
    Have you ever wondered about how the human body works? The human body is like a complex machine, with many little parts that work by themselves or with other parts to perform specific functions. Sometimes, it seems like our body has a mind of its own and it embarrasses you. Have you ever passed gas accidentally when other people were around? In most cases, the things that your body does are normal, but it’s important to know your body so you can recognize what is normal body behavior and what is not. If there is a problem with how your body works, by recognizing that there is a problem, you can take steps to fix it or get help. To understand how the body works, it helps to understand how the body is organized. The smallest living unit in any organism is a cell and the human body is made up of trillions of them. That is more than 1,000,000,000,000 cells! Cells are so small you cannot see them without a microscope. Cells are important for many reasons. They produce the energy in your body to do daily activities, or hold the coded instructions for everything from the color of your hair to whether you have freckles or not. Cells differentiate from each other to perform different, important tasks within the body. For example, some cells might become brain cells while others make bone, and red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body, while white blood cells fight infection. When a group of cells work together to perform ?a specific function, they are called tissue.
