Language(s) of instruction :

French language

Organisation and examination :

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Course contents :

The course describes the basis of cell function regulations (apoptosis, proliferation, differentiation, transcriptional activity) by presenting the different signaling pathways. The topics are: - main signaling pathways - the apoptotic process - the extracellular matrix and intracellular signaling - cell migration and invasion

Learning outcomes of the course :

At the end, the student will know the main signaling pathways and how they contribute to the regulation of cell functions in physiological and pathological conditions.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

Molecular Biology

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :

10 lessons

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

face-to-face with researchers
