This course delves into the intricate world of cell signaling and gene regulation, exploring the fundamental mechanisms that cells use to communicate and respond to their environment. Students will gain a deep understanding of signal transduction pathways, including the principles of cell signaling, G protein signaling, receptor protein kinases, calcium signaling, and hormonal regulation. The course will also cover the structural aspects and functional implications of chromatin in transcriptional regulation. Additionally, comprehensive insights into the regulation of gene expression at various levels - including transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and translational control - will be provided.
