The program offers a refresher course and an in-depth study of the major concepts and methodologies of cell biology, organized around different themes:
1 Cytoskeleton:Introduction to the different types of cytoskeleton. Polymerization properties of actin and tubulin. Proteins associated with the cytoskeleton and regulating polymerization. Molecular motors. Principles of cell migration.
2.cell adhesion & signaling: cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix adhesive structures, their molecular organization and dynamics. Functions and regulation during development and pathogenesis. Regulation by signaling pathways. Mechanotransduction.
3 Addressing and cell trafficking: Ubiquitination and proteasome. Addressing to subcellular compartments, endocytosis and secretion pathways. Molecular basis of vesicular transport, budding, fusion, molecular motors. Signaling in membrane trafficking, trafficking-related genetic diseases and pathogen detour.
4 Cell cycle: Historical introduction. Molecular regulation of the cell cycle. The mitotic spindle, microtubule dynamics and molecular motors, chromosome attachment mechanisms, checkpoints, regulation of mitosis exit and cytokinesis. Mitotic disorders associated with cancer cells.
5 Stem cells: cell differentiation, toti-, pluri- and multipotency, embryonic, adult and cancer stem cells.
6 Programmed cell death: Apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis. Stages and modalities of apoptosis, signaling pathways involved. Role in maintaining homeostasis. Pathophysiological consequences of deregulation of programmed cell death.
Different study models are presented, to introduce the importance of the contribution of biological diversity to the discovery of cellular and molecular mechanisms, and to the understanding of human pathologies.

Are you an L3/M1 student in Languedoc-Roussillon? Would you like to work on a dormant scientific patent in small groups with students from other disciplines, in project mode? Be supported and challenged by professional business creation coaches? Sign up for the PEPITE Patent Project to present a project for the creation of an innovative company based on the exploitation of a real patent supplied by a local research team that will open its doors to you!
Why?
-Because you can start your own business whatever your field of study.
To be selected by an incubator-type support structure
-Build a network in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation
PEPITE Patent Project, what is it? A teaching unit made up of a number of key moments:
a 3-day "tool training" seminar
-regular meetings with coaches
-deliverables: briefing note, market study, business plan
a 10-minute final pitch to present your innovative company
