What do an amoeba and an elephant have in common? If liver cells have the same DNA as brain cells, why are they different? What goes wrong during cancer? The answers to these questions depend on the ...

Cell division is the mechanism by which DNA is passed from one generation of cells to the next and ultimately, from parent organisms to their offspring. Although eukaryotes and prokaryotes both engage ...

Study the tiny molecular motors that cells use to produce force and motion in human cells. To break symmetry, all cells polarize making one part of the cell structurally, functionally, or ...

Understanding cell structure and mechanisms requires data analysis from various imaging systems and modalities that all use different file formats. Each experimental setup can generate a unique ...

20% of the course programme covers lectures and tutorials on microinjection and corresponding microscopy techniques by experts in the field. 80% focuses on hands on practical work organised in small ...

The most significant hurdle however, is immune rejection. As with any tissue transplant (from a donor other than an identical twin), the body will recognise ESCs as foreign and mount an attack which ...

An introduction to the cellular basis of life. Spanning eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells; cellular structure and function; core biochemical components; mechanisms for generating genetic diversity; the ...
