Course Objectives | This course will examine the internal organization of the eukaryotic cell, organelle and membrane function, cell-cell adhesion, the structure and function of cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. In this course we will cover topics such as membrane structure and composition, transport, and trafficking; the cytoskeleton and cell movement; the integration of cells into tissues and important cellular processes such as cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, regeneration and repair and cancer cell biology. |
