Learning objectives

Course objectives: Knowledge of the main processes associated with embryogenesis and the differences in stem populations. Knowledge of the biomolecules involved in cellular crosstalk aimed at morphogenesis. Understanding of the molecular processes associated with the commitment and differentiation of stem cells with particular reference to the mesenchymal compartment. Evaluation of the main techniques for using stem cells in generative medicine. Knowledge of animal models used to study stem cells.
