Course Description:
Stress can be physiological, biological, or psychological in nature, and can invoke both global and cell specific stress responses in an organism. In this course we will survey the literature to discuss the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the eukaryotic cellular stress response. Cellular stress will be explored at the level of DNA, RNA, and protein, with emphasis on some of the organelle specific stress responses. Topics will include cellular and molecular responses to hypoxic, oxidative, starvation, osmotic, sleep deprivation, and environmental stress and will rely heavily on studies involving model organisms. |
