  • BIOLOGY 120: Cell Signaling and Diseases

    1.00 Credits
    Duke University

    During the past several decades, exploration in basic research has yielded extensive knowledge about the numerous and intricate signaling processes involved in the development and maintenance of a functional organism. In order to demonstrate the importance and processes of cellular communication, this course will focus on cell signaling mechanisms and diseases resulting from their malfunction, such as cancer, stroke, and neuron degeneration (including Parkinson¿s disease, Alzheimer¿s disease, Huntington¿s disease, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). Students will be exposed to current literature and cutting edge knowledge. Prerequisite: Biology 101L. Instructor: Chen and Pei.

  • BIOLOGY 121: Evolution of Animal Form

    1.00 Credits
    Duke University

    A survey of the history of animal life focusing on major revolutions in design such as the Cambrian explosion, the Mesozoic radiation of dinosaurs, and the Cenozoic radiation of mammals. Exploration of three views of form: the Darwinian view which stresses function; the historicist view which emphasizes historical accident; and the structuralist view that form is mainly the result of fixed mathematical relationships. The different ways in which each view applies the comparative method. Prerequisite: Biology 19 or 25L or 102L. Instructor: McShea
