To understand normal cell biology and disease, we must understand the molecular machinery involved: cells, the basic unit of life, change their properties to create a whole organism. Tissues and organs are built from many cells: normal homeostasis of multicellular organisms, on the flip side, are disease states, such as cancer and degenerative diseases. Level of molecules all the way to whole organisms. Spatial organization of cells and tissues in three ways: membrane trafficking, cytoskeletal networks, cell adhesion. Why is membrane trafficking important: cells must engage the extracellular space, to communicate with other cells, to acquire resources, these processes require control and dynamic changes to the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane can be changed in composition.
