3 unit(s)

G. Parise

Prerequisite(s): registration in a Kinesiology graduate program, or permission of the instructor

This course will explore current and emerging topics in exercise physiology from a molecular and cellular perspective. Relevant molecular processes such as pre-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, molecular regulation of muscle satellite cells and adult muscle stem cells, inter and intra-cellular signaling for muscle adaptation, and necrosis and apoptosis in muscle will be examined. Relevant molecular events associated with muscle aging will also be explored.
