This course will provide an important foundation for all areas of cell biology by providing a cellular framework organizing fundamental molecular concepts and mechanisms. Cell biological topics to be covered include nuclear architecture, composition and function of cellular membranes, secretion processes, the cytoskeleton, signal transduction, cell-cell communication, and cellular differentiation. The course will incorporate a major text with supplementary reading of primary research literature and will include discussion of research approaches used to dissect cell biological mechanisms in both normal and diseased cellular states.
