The Cellular Signaling and Regulatory Systems (CSRS) study section reviews applications that focus on the initiation and execution of programs that control cellular homeostasis and physiology.  A distinguishing characteristic of these applications is an emphasis on signaling networks and the coordination of processes related to cell proliferation, survival, and growth.

• Cell cycle regulation, mitosis, meiosis, checkpoint controls and regulation by ubiquitination.
• Proteolytic mechanisms associated with cell cycle, senescence and death.
• Programmed cell death and apoptosis, particularly their regulation in the context of stress, growth, and transformation. 
• Proliferation and growth control by the nucleus; signaling pathways regulating transcription.
• Integrative cell physiology, e.g., stress, clocks, cellular modeling; cell differentiation and transformation.
• Basic studies of cytokine signaling.
• Application of state-of-the-art technologies such as imaging and computational modeling of cellular signaling networks
