In addition to lectures there will be in-depth discussions and analyses of current topics as they apply to the organ systems. This course offers an introduction to the eukaryotic cell structure and function for engineering and physical science students who do not have a strong biological background. The concept of the cell as a structural and functional unit within its extracellular matrix will be emphasized. Concepts relevant to tissue engineering will be introduced.
