CELL 8202
Cellular Mechanisms of Animal Development
Course Description
The course will cover the questions of the cellular aspects of the development of vertebrate and invertebrate embryos with focus on cellular mechanisms controlling the morphogenesis. This will include cell adhesion, cell polarity, cell movements (convergence extension, ingression, invagination, evagination, tubulogenesis, delamination), growth control during both early embryonic events, such as the gastrulation, and during organogenesis.
