An intensive survey course in modern cell biology emphasizing the interrelationship between structure and function. Taught by faculty from various basic science departments utilizing a combination of textbook readings and original literature. Emphasis is placed on biological membranes, cell adhesion, cytoskeleton, mitosis and cell cycle, cell signaling, and cancer. Same as GSAS 812 . Permission of instructor Course includes consideration of reproductive capacity and strategy, mechanisms of hormone action, cell and molecular biology of gametogenesis and gamete maturation, and events leading to fertilization.
Emphasis is on current advances in reproductive biology.
Emphasis is on the functional and surgical aspects of the morphology. In this course, selected topics related to growth, cell differentiation, organogenesis, and regeneration are discussed. Current topics in developmental biology as a basis for normal and abnormal development are included. This course considers in detail selected topics on the structure of the cell and the relationship of this structure to cellular functions. Particular attention is given to the ultrastructure of animal cells and the functioning of their subcellular components.
