This document provides a complete set of lecture summaries for a university-level course in Molecular Genetics. It covers core topics such as DNA replication, mutations and repair mechanisms, homologous recombination, transcription and splicing, transposition, genome architecture, RNA structure, translation, and modern sequencing techniques. Each lecture is explained with key molecular mechanisms, relevant enzymes, and biological processes, offering a detailed yet structured overview ideal for e...

All the proteins that have been mentioned in the lectures and lecture slides of Mammalian cell biology have been workedout and how they work together. Its 6 pages long so there is enough to know about all these proteins!

This summary gives a nice overview of the key topics covered in Applied Microbiology. It covers the important concepts from microbial cell biology, metabolism, genetics, growth, and medical microbiology, in a clear and structured way. Also complex processes such as glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, and gene regulation are explained in quite simple terms to make understanding the subject and preparing for your exam a lot easier. This 'cheatsheet' is made from lecture notes and from al...

This document provides detailed lecture notes on host-microbe interactions, covering the human microbiota and microbiome, their role in digestion, immunity, metabolism, and disease. Topics include the Human Microbiome Project, methods of microbiota identification (16S rRNA sequencing, metagenomics), early-life microbiome development, mucosal immunity, diet–microbiome interactions, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmunity, the gut-brain axis, probiotics, and drug metabolism. The material integr...

This document contains the lecture notes for the course Hematopoietic Stem Cells, Differentiation and Development. It concerns topics on hematopoietic stem cells, their differentiation, and development, including detailed insights into blood cell lineages, leukemogenesis, epigenetics, immunotherapy, and bone marrow diagnostics. It also covers hematological disorders such as anemia, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, chronic myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic...

Lecture notes on the Bsc course Food and Metabolism

This document provides an overview of the molecular and cellular basis of cancer, from its origin in mutations to its progression and treatment. It explains how cancer arises through the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic changes, including activation of oncogenes and loss of tumor suppressor genes. Key processes such as apoptosis, angiogenesis, metastasis, immune evasion, and epigenetic regulation are described, along with the roles of noncoding RNAs and signaling pathways in tumor developm...
