Purpose and description of the content of education:
The purpose of the module is to show the cell as the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms. During the course, students will deepen their knowledge of cell types, cell organelles, their functions, the life cycle of the cell, processes of cell differentiation and the pathways leading to cell ageing and death. The students will also acquire knowledge of cell-cell interactions and interactions between the cell and the extracellular matrix and signal transduction pathways in the cell.
