MOSP Lecture 1: BIOLOGY OF CANCER CELLS
(Cancer cells and normal cells will be compared in terms of their growth, differentiation, and morphology. Phases of the cell cycle will be discussed.)
MOSP Lecture 2: PRINCIPLES OF ONCOGENESIS
(principles behind initiation, promotion and progression stages of oncogenesis and the factors that promote or prevent each stage in the oncogenesis pathway)
MOSP Lecture 3: CELL CYCLE CONTROL
(molecular mechanisms of G-phase and M-phase control of the cell cycle progression)
MOSP Lecture 4: CELL SIGNALING
(Biomolecular communication systems: specifically, the patterns and pathways of inter- and intra-cellular signaling)
MOSP Lecture 5: POPULATION CONTROL (A Matter of Life & Death)
(1. biomolecular controls of cell survival time and 2. biomolecular program that will eliminate itself for the sake of the bigger population of cells)
MOSP Lecture 6: BIOMOLECULAR THERAPIES
(modalities of biotherapy and gene therapy)
MOSP Lecture 7: NUTRITIONAL ONCOLOGY (Damage Control)
(how plant nutrients/chemicals derived from fruits and vegetables can prevent oncogenesis: 1. at each stage of the oncogenesis pathway and 2. by triggering the cells own death mechanisms)
MOSP Lecture 8: MOLECULAR IMPLICATIONS OF CANCER TREATMENT MODALITIES
(how surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy affects normal cells)
