Course Syllabus

Abstract

The course "Selected Chapters in Cell Biology" covers key aspects of cell biology, focusing on the specificity of cells from various groups of eukaryotes, characteristics of membrane structure and function, intercellular signaling processes, thermodynamic foundations of life, regulation of the cell life cycle, mechanisms for storing and implementing genetic information, as well as the perception of physical fields and radiation by living organisms.
