Course content
The discipline "Reproductive Immunology" highlights the regulatory role of the immune system in its cooperative interaction with the nervous and endocrine systems on the example of control and coordination of the phenomena of reproductive function, both destructive (menstruation, luteolysis, ovulation, childbirth) and formative (gametogenesis, folliculogenesis, endometrial reconstruction, placentation, etc.) nature, as well as outlines the range of methods of modeling and analytical research, which can be used in conducting experiments in related sciences and in interdisciplinary projects and which require in-depth knowledge of the course "Immunology of reproduction".
