BMS 260 Cell Biology

Fall 2012
4 units

Course Description: To convey an understanding of the function and the organization of molecules and organelles inside and outside the cell and how these are used to construct a muticellular tissue and organ. The course concentrates on major principles of cell biology that are derived from experimentation and on powerful new tools that have informed us of these concepts at more detailed levels of resolution.  We will specifically concentrate on questions related to how cells function, including how they grow, divide and die, and how they move, secrete and communicate.
