Educational goals and aims
- Presentation of processes concerning differentiation regulation and functioning of different cells and their populations;
- Presentation of the mechanisms of cell cycle, mechanism controlling cell proliferation and effects of their disturbances, often leading to neoplasm formation;
- Presentation of molecular mechanisms of apoptosis and external signal reception by the cell, signal transduction inside the cell and regulation of intercellular processes;
- Discussion of current views on cell ageing and demonstration why neoplastic cells are thought to be immortal;
- Presentation of basic histochemical and immunocyteochemical methods used in modern microscopic diagnosis;
- Presentation of methods for conservation of tissues harvested for grafting for therapeutic purposes and discussion of functioning of such grafts in the organism.
- Presentation of basic molecular biology and basic molecular research methods used in modern medical diagnosis.
