Module code: BIS7013-B

Module Aims       

Aims: To develop a comprehensive understanding and detailed knowledge of:
1. Skin development, skin structure and function in health and disease
2. Stem cells in development, tissue homeostasis and ageing
3. Aims, principles, tools and therapeutic potential of Regenerative Medicine
4 Major experimental models used in Stem Cell biology and Regenerative Medicine

Outline Syllabus   

Skin structure and function in health and disease; stem cells in development, tissue homeostasis and ageing; overview of cell signalling, major mechanisms of transcription control of gene expression programmes including epigenetic regulation; molecular and cellular mechanisms of skin morphogenesis and regeneration; molecular and cellular mechanisms of skin ageing and diseases; aim, principles, tools and potential of regenerative medicine; major experimental models used in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine.
