Course content
The discipline "Cell Culture" is a basic discipline that covers issues of cell biology, mechanisms of functioning of an individual cell in a population of genetically identical cells, studies the patterns of regulation of division, differentiation and cell death. The course examines the peculiarities of nutrition and conditions for cultivating eukaryotic cells and tissues in vitro. The knowledge obtained can be used in biochemical, pharmacological, and medical research involving modern principles of cell technologies.
