Course content
"Molecular basis of apoptosis" - a discipline aimed at studying the mechanisms of response to damaging stimuli of various etiologies at the molecular and biochemical levels. The classification, types and principles of action of pathological stimuli on cells are considered. Particular attention is paid to the various stages of development of programmed cell death, the structure and functions of major regulators and mediators involved in the development of stress response in different cell types.
