Course content
"General embryology" is a basic discipline devoted to the study of general principles of structural and functional changes observed during embryogenesis. The course is aimed at forming in students a clear understanding of the basic principles of molecular cell interactions that underlie the processes of differentiation and specialization, as well as the possibility of their experimental modification in laboratories of clinical and research profile.
