CONTENT

This is an advanced graduate course which surveys concepts in programmed cell death (apoptosis and non-apoptotic alternative mechanisms). We will examine how extracellular and intracellular signals activate cell death, which cytoplasmic signaling events are involved and how the cell is finally destroyed. The course is designed to provide an advanced understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying programmed cell death under physiological and disease-related conditions and in various organisms including yeasts, plants and humans.
