Introduction:
This group of web pages provides basic information about cell biology topics. Many of the photos are taken from texts used by our students. These are used as supplemental handouts and guides for the discussions in our lectures. Most of these topics focus on structure/function correlations. They are not intended to be comprehensive.
Some topics, like those focusing on mitochondria, will correlate with biochemistry and physiology lectures that expand students' understanding of that organelle system.
This site will be updated regularly as new lectures are developed and old lectures revised.
- transport and sorting
- routes through the Golgi complex
- role of the cytoskeletal system
- production of lysosomes
- gatekeepers for cell compartments:
- receptor mediated
endocytosis
- internalization
- types of ligands
- events during
process
- patching and capping
- role of clathrin
- role of adaptin
- effect of temperature
- how many types of receptors/coated pit?
- entry of cholesterol
- microtubule dynamics
- Intermediate filament structure and dynamics
- actin filament structure and dynamics
- cell powerhouses
- powerhouse organization
- inner membrane substructure
- life cycle
- translation of mRNA
- membrane architecture
- role of phospholipids
- role of cholesterol
- role of glycolipids
- insertion of proteins
- how cell biologists study:
- membrane cytochemistry
- membrane fluidity
- transmembrane structure: freeze-fracture
- junctional specializations
- microvilli
- adhesion_molecules
- membranes: lecture slides
- Microtubules and Cilia structure and dynamics
- Intermediate filament structure
- Nuclear organization
- organization of chromosomes
- nucleolar structure and function
- movement through nuclear pores
- Epithelial polarity
- Adhesion_molecules
We hope that this information is useful as you study these concepts throughout your basic science and systems courses. We will keep the pages updated and appreciate any comments or questions you might have.
