Notes

Description of course: An introduction to cell structure and the mechanisms underlying cell division and protein trafficking. The first half of the course will focus on the cell biology of the nucleus, mechanisms of cell division and cell cycle control, mitosis and cytokinesis, ubiquitin mediated proteolysis, and apoptotic mechanisms. In the second half of the course, emphasis will be placed on the regulation of the cytoskeleton, the mechanisms involved in protein, and membrane trafficking, endocytosis, the secretory system, and adhesion mediated biology. Lectures and discussions of the current literature will comprise the course.
