| Full description: | The aim of the course is to acquaint students with contemporary knowledge of the cytology with particular emphasis on the construction of eukaryotic cells and their cytophysiology. Students will become familiar with the issues of modern cell biology, such as stem cells, neoplastic processes and molecular mechanisms of intercellular interactions, including shedding of microvesicles and exosomes. |
