laboratorio [laboratorio 2° turno]
laboratorio [laboratorio 3° turno]
laboratorio [laboratorio 4° turno]
Learning outcomes
The cell biology course II focuses on the main processes in the life of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the flow of information, cell division and vescicular trafficking. This course will enhable the students to better understand Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology courses Theoretical principles of cytological techniques will also be considered in this course.
The laboratory will support the understanding of the theory and will enable the students to use optical microscope and prepare simple experiments. Moreover, they will learn how to write a scientific report.
Program
The flow of information: Transcription and translation. The protein synthesis. Targeting to different compartments and vescicles. Cellular signalling mechanisms. The cell cycle. Mitosis and meiosis. Cell death and apoptosis. Cancer cells. Viruses.
Laboratory: microscopy techniques with fresh plant material, staining of subcellular structures. Purification of cellular subfractions with differential centrifugation, spectrophotometric analysis of the obtained fractions to identify mitochondria.
