97189 - Molecular and Clinical Aspects of Signal Transduction Topography

Learning outcomes

• Knowledge and understanding of the anatomical variations of the systems and the molecular basis of morphogenesis, including with regard to pathological situations, particularly with regard to regenerative medicine. • Ability to gather and interpret relevant data for independent judgment in the field of human morphological sciences. • Ability to transfer the knowledge gained in the field of morphology to a wide biomedical audience. • Learning concepts and advanced technologies that will allow to better understand the topics of study of the following years.

Course contents

In order to optimize the learning experience, the following prerequisites are recommended: basic concepts of cell biology, histology and embryology

The Course focuses on the analysis of the molecular and clinical features of stem cells and signal transduction systems in correlation with cellular localization and pathologies

Readings/Bibliography

Advised: scientific papers discussed during the lessons

Teaching materials will be available online as downloadable content from the "Virtuale" platform, accessing the academic year of attendance

Teaching methods

Frontal lectures and video/interactive lessons

Assessment methods

The Module is integrated with the "Clinical Correlations Between Anatomic Variations and Anomalies" and the "Mesenchymal Stem Cells (Msc) Role in Bone Tissue Regeneration and Tumor Microenvironment" Courses. The final evaluation takes into account the grades of the entire Integrated Course, weighted average

The final test involves passing a multiple choice quiz which will verify the knowledge acquired. As the final test includes all modules, the marks obtained in the test will give the result of the entire course (Pass/Fail)

The multiple choice test consists of a 30-minute quiz with 10 multiple choice questions that must be taken before the oral test and whose validity lasts only for the session in which it was taken. For each correct question students gain 1 point. Unanswered or incorrect questions give 0 points. To pass the test students must achieve a score of 6/10. The test is administered by using the Unibo EOL platform. Each student logs in via their own electronic device, without the possibility of accessing other concomitant web pages. No additional instruments are permitted during the test

 

To access the exam, online booking on Almaesami before the exam is mandatory

 

For students with learning difficulties, intellectual disabilities or temporary or permanent disabilities: it is advisable to promptly contact the competent university office, which will be responsible for suggesting any specific adaptations. All requests must however be submitted at least 15 days in advance for approval by the teachers, who will evaluate the relevance of the request, also taking into account the educational objectives of the course

 

Regarding learning assessment, the use of AI is prohibited. Any such use constitutes a violation of academic integrity
