Course content
The academic discipline "System of intercellular communication and cellular differentiation" is a component of the cycle of professional training of specialists at the educational level "Bachelor" under the educational program "Biology" (specialization "Cytology and Histology"). The discipline is a basic cytological discipline designed to form a clear idea of ​​the molecular mechanisms of information transmission in cells, the principles of modular structure of components of signaling cascades, the role of posttranslational modifications in signal transduction, principles of signaling modules in signaling networks. cell signaling systems. The course outlines the features of molecular regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and death.
