Cell Motility and the Cytoskeleton

1 Course Unit

Cytoskeleton and cell motility plays a crucial role in many aspects of normal and pathological physiology of individual cells, tissues, and whole organisms, including morphogenesis, immune response, wound healing, oncogenesis, and infection. This course will cover current topics in cell biology with emphasis on cytoskeleton and cell motility and their roles in these processes. Lectures, student presentations, and discussions in the class will be based on primary scientific literature. Fall Mutually Exclusive: BIOL 5024 Prerequisite: BIOL 2010 1 Course Unit
