Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering (BENG 100) Professor Saltzman talks about cell communication, in particular receptor-ligand interactions that are important in maintaining homeostasis in the body. Different types of receptors and ligands, the nature of their interactions and ways to apply those discussed in the development of drugs (eg Aldopa, Taximofen, beta-blockers). Next, Professor Saltzman speaks of kinases, phosphatases, cyclic AMP and the mechanism of protein-changing states. ThreeCategories of cell communication signals are introduced: autocrine, paracrine and endocrine. Finally, an example of cell communication via regulation / response is submitted on blood sugar levels. Complete training materials are in the Open Yale Courses Web site: open.yale.edu This course was taken in the spring of 2008.
