BIED 356: What does it mean to be a “normal” cell?
In order to learn how cancer cells act abnormally, we must first learn how a normal cell functions. In this course, we will explore the organization of cells in tissues and organs, and how cells "talk" to one another and are a part of a community. Throughout its lifetime a normal cell divides, performs its functions, communicates with other cells, and dies. We will see how each of these steps is regulated.
Pre-requisites: It is recommended that students have a basic understanding of cell structure, function and cell division (mitosis).
