LAN430 Cell Biology

The course addresses the main topics in modern cell biology: membranes, the cytoskeleton, transport, organelle structure and function, cellular regulation, and topics of interest to participants. The experimental basis of knowledge in cell biology is emphasized. Special attention is given to areas that have advanced rapidly in recent years, e.g. molecular motors, apoptosis, and cell signaling. Connections to cancer biology are explored. Prerequisite(s): LAN110 General Biology and one chemistry course. 5 quarter hours
