BIOL375: Immunology, Cell and Developmental Biology |
This unit focuses on interactions among cells (predominantly, but not exclusively, in animals) in a variety of contexts. In the immunological context, it explores cell-cell interactions in the responses of animal bodies to invasion by pathogens and in the recognition of somatic abnormalities including cancers. In the developmental context, there will be a brief introduction to 'classical' embryology followed by a more detailed exploration of the molecular basis of morphogenesis and cell specialisation. Throughout, mechanisms of inter- and intra-cell signaling are emphasised.
