Document Summary
Learning objectives: why study cell biology, cell culture, normal, cancer, and stem cells. Recommended readings (from 8th ed. : chapter 1: p. 12, chapter 4: p. 132. Isolation and analysis of cell organelles and molecules. Midterm i (sat feb 4th, 25%: chapter 21: p. 975-977, 980-985, 991-992, chapter 24: p. 1140. Why study cells? fundamental unit of life storehouse for thousands of genes: determine what is normal so we can fix the abnormal . What is a cell: ultimate goal: to understand how macromolecular systems and organelles work and cooperate to enable cells to function autonomously and in tissues specifically eukaryotic cells. How they communicate and interact as a whole; each cell translate rna and so on. How do we study cells: hypothesis-driven experiments isolate and maintain cells in vitro (in artificial matter, such as glass or test tube) Usually try to isolate one cell to test. Cell culture to ask biological questions pertaining to our ~ 75 trillion cells.
