Cell Biological Science and Engineering

TAKAYAMA, Yuko
  Elective  2 credits
【Master's program・2nd semester】

1.
Outline
The cell cycle and its molecular mechanisms are expounded. Students introduce related original papers in turns in the class.
2.
Objectives
The cell cycle, the ordered set of processes by which one cell grows and divides into two daughter cells. Cell growth and division is a basis of biology. Without knowing the cell cycle control, we cannot understand the uncontrolled cell division of cancers and the growth arrest of the senescent cells. The aim of this lecture is to understand molecular mechanisms of cell cycle control.
3.
Grading Policy
The learning results are evaluated based on exercises and reports.
4.
Textbook and Reference
The Cell Cycle an introduction
5.
Requirements (Assignments)
Students have to have a basic understanding of genetics, molecular genetics, and genome science. Students also need the ability to understand original papers.
Resumes are used as a textbook and in this lecture we shall discuss scientific papers.

6.
Note
7.
Schedule
1. Cell growth and the cell cycle
2. Chromosomes and inheritance
3. Mitosis and meiosis
4. The early embryonic cell cycle

5. The Control of Mitosis
6. The transition from G1 to S phase
7. The control of DNA replication
8. The cell cycle checkpoint
9. The meiotic cell cycle
10. Genetic analysis of the cell cycle: exposition of experiment methods

11. Genetic analysis of the cell cycle: exposition of experiment methods
12. Group reading of an original paper about the cell cycle
13. Presentation of an original paper about the cell cycle
14. Presentation of an original paper about the cell cycle

15. Conclusion and discussion
