BIOL 275 Cell Signaling in Development
To go from a fertilized egg to a functional organism, cells must undergo a series of developmental decisions including decisions about proliferation and differentiation. At the heart of these decisions is cell signaling. Cellular communication including cell-cell signaling, morphogens, and cell autonomous cues are essential for organismal development and are often mis-regulated in human disease. In this journal club, we will discuss recent and preprinted research articles which focus on novel findings in cell and developmental signaling including new methodologies, quantitative analysis, and conceptual advances. Each week, students will take turns presenting an article and will lead an in-class discussion for the selected paper.
