Course content
The discipline is devoted to the study of the role of intercellular interactions in the development, tissue organization and functioning of multicellular organisms. The general principles of contact and distant interactions between cells are considered. Knowledge of the structure, involvement in signaling mechanisms of transmission is provided information on the components of cellular contacts in the implementation of physiological cellular functions and pathologies, as well as on the peculiarities of the functioning and role of different types of cellular receptors in the transmission of information in the cell.
