551-1511-00L Parallels Between Tissue Repair and Cancer
| Semester | Autumn Semester 2019 |
| Lecturers | S. Werner, M. Bordoli, M. Schäfer |
| Periodicity | yearly recurring course |
| Language of instruction | English |
| Comment | Number of participants limited to 15. The enrolment is done by the D-BIOL study administration. |
| Abstract | This course aims at the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying tissue repair processes in response to different insults. The focus will be on repair of the skin and the liver. In addition, we will highlight the parallels and differences between tissue repair and cancer. |
| Learning objective | To learn the cellular and molecular principles underlying tissue repair processes, in particular in the skin and in the liver, and the parallels and differences to cancer. To learn modern technologies in Molecular and Cellular Biology as well as Histology and to use these technologies to study questions related to mechanisms underlying tissue repair and cancer. |
| Content | This course aims at the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying tissue repair processes in response to different insults. The focus will be on repair of the skin and the liver. In addition, we will highlight the parallels and differences between tissue repair and cancer. Experimental approaches include biochemical studies, molecular and cellular studies using cultured cell lines and primary cells, as well as analysis of murine and human tissues. The course combines practical work with lectures, discussions, project preparations and presentations. |
