Adaptive Immune System - T helper subsets
The adaptive immune response is influenced by the activation of differing T helper subsets, which was classically defined as Th1 (Type 1) or Th2 (Type 2), wherein each subset produces a distinct profile of cytokines. New research has uncovered further T helper subsets, such as T regulatory cells, Th9 cells, and Th17 cells. http://www.biolegend.com/index.php?page=pfeatured&id=7#fates

Neurobiology - Neurobiology is a diverse field. Although Neurobiology: Molecules, Cells, and Systems provides broad exposure to this field, the author has not attempted to cover all aspects of neuroscience. Instead of an encyclopedic survey, a subset of topics within neurobiology that illustrate the fundamentals of nervous system function have been selected.

Epigenetics
The development and maintenance of an organism is orchestrated by a set of chemical reactions that switch parts of the genome off and on at strategic times and locations. Epigenetics is the study of these reactions and the factors that influence them.
