The list below offers a representative sample of the courses you can expect in the study of cellular and molecular biology at DePauw. From theoretical foundations to practical experiences, these ...

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). These include stuff like superoxide and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2).

Researchers have mapped variation in human stem cells that explains how cells of an individual may shape a unique 'developmental dance' at the molecular level, thereby controlling how the brain and ...

When a pathogen like a dangerous virus invades the human body, it usually has to enter human cells to cause an illness. Influenza has to latch onto a receptor on the surface of a human cell so it can ...

A novel molecular thermometer based on solvatochromic dyes can determine temperature fluctuations within cells. Measuring your temperature is as simple as sticking a thermometer in your mouth, but for ...
