| Lernziel | The aim of our course is to introduce the students to the organizational principles of the nucleus using budding yeast, drosophila and vertebrate cells as model systems. Emphasis is given to: • Establishment of nuclear identity and nuclear-cytoplasmic communication • Reorganization of the nucleus in aging • Animal cells during the generation of cell diversity and neuronal differentiation By the end of the course, based on lectures, literature reading and practical lab work, the students will be able to formulate open questions concerning the function of the nucleus. Thus, the students will know about the mechanisms and consequences of nuclear-cytoplasmic compartmentalization, DNA clustering in the nucleus and cytoplasm during cell divisions and aging. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | During this block-course, the students will - learn how organelles establish and maintain identity with a focus on the nucleus - discover the evolutionary and functional plasticity of the nucleus - design, apply, evaluate and compare experimental strategies Students - in groups of 2 or max. 3 - will be integrated into a research project connected to the subject of the course, within one of the participating research groups. Lectures and technical notes will be given and informal discussions held to provide you with the theoretical background. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | About 1 week before course start you will be invited to express your preference for a practical lab project on the course moodle site. Optional papers linked to the projects shall support you in that choice. They can also serve as framework orientation for the practical parts of this block course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literatur | Documentation and recommended literature (review articles) will be provided during the course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
