Learning outcomes
The main task of the course is to examine molecular mechanisms responsible for cell and tissue damage, as well as implicated in the host response to cell damage and in its repairment. In addition, the course addresses pathophysiological mechanisms at the basis of alterations of the main homeostatic systems, compensation responses induced by these alterations and their potential significance as mechanisms of diseases.
