Adv. Course on Molecular Mechanisms of Transcellular Signalling

[Albert Noorlandt]

First Announcement:

Molecular Mechanisms of Transcellular Signalling: From Membrane Receptors
to Transcription Factors

An international Summer School for Postdoctoral Scientists and Advanced
Students, co-sponsored by NATO and FEBS

Island of Spetsai, Greece, August 16­28, 1998

An interdisciplinary course on transcellular signaling mechanisms. Topics
include: membrane receptors in neural function; signal pathways mediated
via growth factor and adhesive receptors; vesicular transport and
targeting; signalling via phospholipids and oxidants; structure and
function of transcription factors; localisation of transcripts; control of
cell division; signalling in developmental processes
