Regulation of Cell Adhesion & Migration by Endocytosis & Recycling of Receptors - Part 1

The general objective of this course is to understand the role of the cytoskeleton in intracellular trafficking and cell migration at different levels: molecular, cellular and in the living organism. The course will provide introductions to the main cytoskeleton networks as well as to the basic mechanisms of trafficking and migration regulation. It will cover general mechanisms though which intracellular trafficking controls cell migration and invasion with a more particular focus on the role of cytoskeleton-based organelles in these basic cellular functions.
