Course content
The educational discipline "Mechanisms of cell aging" is a component of the educational program of professional training of specialists at the "Master's" educational level. The discipline program examines cell aging processes; the analysis of structural and functional changes of the organism at different levels of the living organization during the aging process of the organism is carried out; a causal analysis of the body's aging processes is carried out; possible ways of correcting the development of age-related changes in the body are considered.
