CB 2600: Intro to Cell Biology

Explore the pivotal role of enhancers in gene expression as we dissect their function and interaction with transcription factors. Gain insights into how they crucially influence the transcriptional control of genes.

Unlock the language of genetic history with our guide to understanding pedigrees and their symbols. Learn how to interpret squares circles and lines to track inheritance patterns for traits and diseases.

Explore the critical components of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), including nerves and ganglia. Understand the distinction between sensory and autonomic ganglia and the composition of nerves' layers. Learn why nerves and ganglia lack the protective meninges found in the CNS and how they facilitate essential signal transmission within the body.

Explore the key concepts that might illustrate the unity among all organisms including emergent properties descent with modification and natural selection. Understand why the structure and function of DNA ultimately stand as the best example of this unity

Discover the multifaceted role of cytokines as the body's cellular messengers. Uncover their pivotal tasks in regulating immune and inflammatory responses. Dive into their significance in cell growth, differentiation, and inter-cellular communication.

Explore the lethal impact of cyanide on cellular organelles particularly its devastating effect on mitochondria. Our video sheds light on how cyanide halts ATP production bringing cellular functions to a standstill. Ideal for students and educators seeking a comprehensive view of toxicology and cellular biology.
