What are the molecular mechanisms by which hormones direct cellular processes? In this course, we will examine the nature of chemical communication between and within cells. We will study hormones, receptors, and signal transduction pathways, and the ways in which these signaling systems regulate development, programmed cell death, inflammatory responses, and other biological processes.
Prereq: BIOL-230 or both BIOL-210 and BIOL-220.; Coreq: BIOL-339L.
