Learning outcomes

------------------------
MM: BIOCHIMICA CLINICA
------------------------
Aim of the course is to provide tools and knowledge for a correct request, execution and interpretation of the biochemical tests performed in different clinical contexts. In particular, those exams whose knowledge is considered useful in the specific degree course will be taken into consideration.
------------------------
MM: BIOLOGIA MOLECOLARE E MEDICINA RIGENERATIVA
------------------------
The aim of this course is to provide a description at the molecular and cellular level of the main mechanisms involved in replication, transcription and translation in eukaryotes. The course will provide a detailed description of the stem cells biology and of the differentiation of bone related cells. The course will also provide the knowledge of the involvement of stem cells in degenerative diseases. The students will acquire knowledge of the fundamental structures of biological systems in a molecular and cellular perspective and of the mechanisms inherent to the transmission, manipulation and expression of the information contained in the genome of eukaryotes. The students will understand the use of regenerative medicine techniques applied to degenerative diseases. The students will be able to understand the genetic bases of life and the application of molecular tools in degenerative diseases. They will be able to read and understand advanced biology textsbooks and undertake the scientific information related to the application of cellular and molecular therapy in regenerative medicine.
