knowledge and under-standing: Knowledge of the principles of cellular biology applied to the development biology. Knowledge of the principles of inter- and intra-cellular communication, of the main signal transduction pathways; Of molecular mechanisms in regulating the expression of genes development-related into: i) differentiation; ii) de-differentiation; iii) migration, and iv) cell survival. Embryonic and adult stem cells, regeneration.
Applying knowledge and understanding: In addition to the knowledge acquired through the study of Cellular and Developmental Biology, students will understand and explore the applicative potential of matter in organ and tissue regeneration, stem cell and tumor differentiation control in the field of bioedicine and Translational medicine.
Making judgements: The course offers links to other disciplines of the degree-course (molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, genetics and epigenetics) by providing an integrated, current and dynamic knowledge. It is capable of specific insights such as: 1) reading of scientific material obtained through research For keywords and also provided and shared with the learners on the google-drive site; 2) organized seminars; 3) Further integration of knowledge with optional exams in the II year course. These three points are thr complexity for achieving an interpretation of experimental results of cellular biology and development similar to those discussed in lesson.
Communication skills: During the lessons students are invited to provide their opinion and study in groups to develop their communicative abilities. These skills are then verified at the end of the training activities.
Learning skills: The students will need to be able to describe the scientific themes inherent in cell biology and development. This ability will be developed through the active involvement of students to deepen the knoledge of the course’s fields. The learners will be encouraged to report in the classroom (also in groups) topics related to the course. The involvement of students in improving the content of the course is a key element of training growth for the learner, but also for the teacher.
