Cellular Regulation /NRSE2008O / Credits: 10

Develop an applied understanding of cellular regulation. Cellular regulation as a broad concept refers to all
functions carried out within a cell to maintain homeostasis. The spectrum and processes of cellular regulation,
the consequences of altered cellular regulation, and the application of this physiological process in healthcare
will be included to ensure that students can recognise and intervene appropriately when conditions of altered
cellular regulation develop. The scope of this concept focuses on the cellular growth and reproduction aspect,
with normal cellular growth at one end of the spectrum, dysplasia as the following concept, and malignant
neoplasia at the opposite end.
