World of Anatomy and Physiology (WAP) is devoted to the study of the intricate relationships of form and function within the human body. Although anatomy is the most ancient of all medical studies, the early years of the twenty-first century are an exciting time to undertake the study of the structure and function of the human body. Around the world, thousands of dedicated research and clinical science specialists provide a constant stream of insights into the most intimate aspects of our anatomy and physiology.

Recent rapid progress in cell biology allows, for the first time, insight into the fundamental mechanisms of development. Never before in human history has information moved so rapidly from the laboratory to the clinical setting. The development of reproductive medicine and gene therapy promise to propel us into a new and revolutionary era of biotechnology and biomedical science.  (more) -- K.
