This interactive module introduces the anatomy of the immune system and walks through the timeline of a typical immune response.

This activity explores images of planarians regenerating missing body parts, which serve as phenomena for learning about cell division and differentiation.

This short video explores how a baby’s microbiome is established during birth.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study on how social status affects the expression of genes involved in immune system processes.

This activity analyzes a published scientific figure from a study assessing if the microbiota from a mother affects the immune systems of the developing offspring.

This demonstration models the first step of the HIV life cycle: the binding of HIV envelope proteins to receptors on human helper T cells.

This interactive module explores how mutations arise in germline and somatic cells. It also shows how these mutations can lead to genetic conditions, such as cystic fibrosis and cancer.

This activity explores an image of early embryonic cells, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about cell division and development.

This animation shows how varying concentrations of a signaling molecule activate different transcription factors to determine cell fate.

This video shows real footage of a cytotoxic T cell killing a cell infected by a pathogen.

This animation shows how a cell infected by a virus signals cytotoxic T cells to destroy itself.
