Medicine - Cytophysiology - Curriculum

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