Department Department of Animal Science/Graduate Language English Semester 2026-SPRING
Course Description 使學生瞭解細胞對胞外刺激的反應與下游訊息傳導的途徑及其相關生理反應之變化。授課方式講授為課堂討論, review papers 將簡介各主要訊息傳導途徑, original articles將給學生實例討論不同細胞乃至於組織與器官不同生理反應下訊息傳導途徑。

The course is designed to introduce intracellular signaling events and related cellular activities and physiology in response to stimuli. Both lecturing and in-class discussion will be used in the class. Review papers will be used to lecture the major signaling pathways. To understand practical cases of signaling events with cellular to integrative physiological responses, students are asked to discuss some original articles during the class.

使學生瞭解細胞對胞外刺激的反應與下游訊息傳導的途徑及其相關生理反應之變化。

Students are expected to understand the cell responses to extracellular stimuli, and the downstream signaling pathways. Also, students should gain the comprehensive understanding of physiological responses after activation of various signal transductions.
