Every disease has an underlying molecular cause with an effect on the cellular level
Successful medical Tx address disease on molecular level |
Ex: Epilepsy
Defects in neurotransmission on molecular level affect nerves on cellular level |
Ex: Cancer
Defects in signal transduction on molecular level result in abnormal cell growth on cellular level |
|
|
All animals share the same basic principles of organization
--Human, mouse, dog share 99% homology in genes and proteins --Practically indistinguishable on molecular level |
Most animals have special features in their physiology
--features make animals unique on the molecular, cellular, and organismal level |
