Basic Principles of Cell Signaling
Learn fundamental concepts of cellular communication. Explore signaling pathways, receptors, and disease implications.
Learn fundamental concepts of cellular communication. Explore signaling pathways, receptors, and disease implications.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to cell signaling, covering the coordination of life in multicellular organisms through various internal and external signals. Students will learn about different types of signaling events, including electrical, chemical, and gap junction-mediated pathways. The course explores key principles of signal transduction, protein-protein interactions, and signaling second messengers. It covers major signaling pathways such as receptor tyrosine kinase, G protein-coupled receptor, and JAK-STAT signaling. The curriculum also addresses how dysregulated cell signaling contributes to diseases like cancer and diabetes. By the end of the course, students will understand the biochemical basis of various cellular signaling mechanisms and their implications for normal cellular functions and pathological conditions.
