Educational objectives

The course aims to provide knowledge of i) the molecular mechanisms controlling physiological cellular functions (e.g., cell proliferation, death, senescence, differentiation), ii) how the cell regulates these functions in response to stimuli from the tissue microenvironment, iii) how it integrates these signals in order to contribute to the tissue homeostasis, iv) the alterations found in different physio-pathological conditions. The neoplastic transformation will be used as a paradigm of deregulations involving multi-level cellular function, and the liver as example of organ for physio-pathological studies. The student, once acquired knowledge of the mechanisms that regulate cell functions, will acquire skills to propose experimental approaches for the analysis of these functions both in vitro and in vivo.
These skills will be developed through simulations of scientific problems in interactive lessons, where students will develop critical skills, will apply the acquired knowledge and will discuss collectively the possible experimental approaches for their solving.
