Aims
To understand how molecular and cellular tools are able to contribute to a better knowledge of physiological functions at the cell or organism level.
Main themes
The course will illustrate through various examples taken from the microbial, plant and animal fields, how typical methodologies of molecular and cellular biology can be integrated to better understand physiological functions of the organism. The course will be based on a detailed analysis of papers that appeared recently in the scientific literature.
Content and teaching methods
Examples will be taken from the following non-exhaustive list:
- The immune system
- Ion and metabolite transport, long distance transport, neuronal signaling
- Animal and plant development
- Cell cycle
- Molecular signaling
- Response to biotic and abiotic stress
