Course contents:
The main focus of the course will be on the understanding of mechanisms for cell communication, different receptor groups, principles for intracellular signal transduction including adapter proteins, scaffolding proteins and activation of central transcription factors.
Regulation of gene transcription in eukaryote cells, protein sorting and vesicular transport will be reviewed.
We will also focus on mechanisms that control cell division, cell growth and cell death.
The course will also give the students an introduction to central concepts of stem cell biology.

Learning outcome:
After completing the course, students should have a thorough understanding of molecular mechanisms of eukaryotic cell biology. Understanding the principles of cell communication, cell interaction and intracellular signal transduction will be given priority.
The students should acquire knowledge about central signaling pathways controlling cell growth and differentiation processes, how these signaling pathways are regulated and which transcription factors that are affected.
These learning aims should contribute to the students" development of skills, enabling them to acquire relevant literature on the subject and to formulate scientific problems within cell biology.
