Objectives of the Course The main purpose of this course is to provide the students an insight into topics relevant to cell and molecular biology. Cells are still in contact with their surroundings, and students can learn how they interact with their surroundings (cell-to-cell communication, chemical signaling, receptors). Cell cycle, transcription, adhesion molecules, translation of proteins and the cytoskeleton will be studied by students. In the lectures, cancer, motor proteins and cell signaling will be discussed.
Course Content Cell cycles, transcription, RNA export, transcription, cellular adhesions, cell-to-cell communication, the cytoskeleton system and motor proteins, protein quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum and signal transduction..
Course Methods and Techniques Textbooks and Resources: Up-to-date and comprehensive textbooks written by experts in the field will help you understand cell biology topics in depth.

Scientific Articles: Scientific articles containing research results allow you to keep track of the latest developments in cell biology.

Online Resources: Reliable online resources (university websites, scientific organizations) provide accurate and current information about cell biology.

Visual Materials: Schematics, diagrams, microscope images and videos help you visualize cell structures and processes.
