BIOL 321
Spring 2008 not offered
|
This course will examine the cellular basis for animal development, focusing on cell movements, cell adhesion, cell polarity, and the cell-cell interactions that underlie development. The course will highlight recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of these cell behaviors and how they lead to tissue morphogenesis. Most examples will be from vertebrate model systems, although some drosophila work will be covered. |
