Explore the intricate world of cellular signaling in the course "Signaling actions of small molecules" offered by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). Understand the significant impact of small molecules, known as metabolites, on biological events, energy metabolism, and macromolecular biosynthesis/degradation. Delve into the biochemical basis of metabolite actions in cell signaling and discover how endogenous small molecules interact with target proteins to regulate their functions. The course also examines the implications of metabolite-mediated cell signaling in human health and disease, such as cancer and inflammation.
Throughout the 6-week course, you'll gain insights into the role of noxious gases like nitric oxide in controlling blood pressure, the fundamental mode of energy metabolites in modulating gene expression, and how gut microbiota can influence the human body. Gain a comprehensive understanding of the complex nature of cellular signaling systems and identify novel ways to manage major human diseases.
