Recent concepts of mechanisms of membrane transport – both trans-membrane transport and membrane-vesicle-mediated transport – will be discussed, as well as signal transduction pathways originating at membranes. The course focuses on the level of cell biology in physiological and/or pathophysiological conditions but also includes transport and signaling studies at the level of the organism.
Topics will include:
• the structure, biogenesis, and dynamics of biological membranes
• mechanisms of membrane transport
• mechanisms of signaling pathways by way of membranes
• analytical and image processing techniques
