Cell Communication Resources
GENERAL RESOURCES
TED TALK by Bonnie Bassler: discusses quorum sensing in bacteria. An example of how cells communicate to accomplish a common task.
Paul Anderson YouTube Video on ways cells communicate with one another--autocrine, paracrine (& juxtacrine) & endocrine--examples given.
Paul Anderson YouTube Video on signal transduction--the dirty details of how it works!
Paul Anderson YouTube Video on cell communication--evolutionary significance (examples: quorum sensing in bacteria & epinephrine signaling in multicellular organisms)
Penguin Prof talks about how signal transduction works.
The video below contains a lot of details related to the immune system. Focus on the overall communication....many different cell types and many different signaling molecules allow the immune system to be highly specific in how it responds to pathogens and other non-self cells.
