Cellular Regeneration Techniques
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
The course will provide the students with a detailed knowledge of the molecular and cellular principles that regulate embryonic development. This knowledge will be extended to the biology of stem cells both tissue specific and embryonic. The course will include some information on the most recent technologies of cell conversion. Finally, the possible therapeutic application of these cells will be critically assessed.
