Learning outcomes of the subject
Appreciate how on-going advances in biomedicine stem from an increasingly detailed knowledge of basic cellular processes.Integrate different fundamental aspects of molecular and cellular biology as elements to open novel avenues of research in the biomedical field.
Critically assess scientific results presented in primary research reports on molecular and cellular biology.
Ordinary call: orientations and renunciation
The final grade will be based on the following aspects:1. Attendance and participation in class: 65% of the final grade.
2. Written assignment: 35% of the final grade.
Attendance is compulsory. Excused absences may be made up for with the activity indicated by the person in charge of the session.
The intervention of the student in the classes will be valued, the questions and comments made in each session will be valued. A high participation and attendance to 100% of the sessions allows passing the course.
An unexcused attendance of less than 80% of the sessions will result in the failure of the course.
In the case of absence with a justified cause (more than 30%), an exam/test of the subject adjusted to the specific situation will be carried out.
Extraordinary call: orientations and renunciation
The extraordinary call will involve the realization of an exam/test of the subject that will consist of the development of a topic of the subject to choose between two chosen at random.Temary
Topic 1: SIGNALING PATHWAYS INVOLVED IN GROWTH AND DIFFERENTIATION. CELL RECEPTORS. CELL ADHESION. RAS, TGF, WNT, PI3K, MAPK PATHWAYS.Topic 2: PHYSIOPATHOLOGY OF NUCLEOCYTOPLASMIC TRANSPORT.
Topic 3: SIGNALING PATHWAYS INVOLVED IN CELL SURVIVAL. OXIDATIVE METABOLISM.
Topic 4: GENE REGULATION AND HUMAN DISEASE.
Topic 5: POST-TRANSCRIPTIONAL MECHANISMS REGULATING CELL PROLIFERATION. PROTEIN UBIQUITINATION.
Topic 6: MOLECULAR BASES OC CELL CYCLE. CELL DIVISION AND CANCER.
Topic 7: EDITING THE GENOME USING CRISPR.
Topic 8: MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF CELL DEATH. APOPTOSIS AND CANCER.
Topic 9: MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF STEM CELL RENEWAL AND DIFFERENTIATION.
Topic 10 MOLECULAR MECHANISMS IN TISSUE REGENERATION.
