Course content
The discipline "Cellular Signaling" is part of the training cycle of specialists of the educational level "Master" in the educational program "Biology". It highlights the patterns of functioning of cellular compartments at the level of regulation of biochemical processes based on the peculiarities of biochemical topography of cells. The discipline outlines both the theoretical foundations of cooperative interaction of intracellular signaling systems and ways of their regulation under different functional states, and a wide range of methodological techniques that can be used in related sciences and interdisciplinary projects.
