2004 Refresher Course on Cellular Homeostasis
(Sponsored by the APS Education Committee)
Organizers:
Michael F. Romero, Ph.D.
Jeffrey C. Freedman, Ph.D.
The goal of this Refresher Course was to provide an overview of recent advances in areas of cellular homeostasis. The talks provided information that may not be readily available in a standard textbook.
