This module provides an introduction to cell biology. Specifically, we consider cell structure and the microscopy techniques that enable visualisation of cell structures. The structure and function of the cell membrane, organelles, nucleus and cytoskeleton will be explored. Finally, normal cell cycle, cell division and differentiation processes are examined alongside their dysregulation leading to cancer.
