course aims in Estonian
Õppeaine eesmärk on arendada molekulaarbioloogilist mõtlemist, käsitledes geeniekspressioonikeskseid mehhanisme alates kromatiini remodelleerimisest kuni translatsioonini, ning kujundada arusaam raku bioloogilistest protsessidest, sealhulgas rakkudevahelisest suhtlusest, signaaliradadest, rakkude vananemisest ja programmeeritud rakusurmast.
course aims in English
The aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of gene expression regulation from chromatin remodelling to translation and to develop knowledge of cellular biology processes, including intercellular communication, signaling pathways, cellular ageing, and programmed cell death.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Õppeaine läbinud üliõpilane:
- eristab geeniregulatsiooni põhietappe alates kromatiini remodeleerimisest kuni translatsioonini ja selgitab nende omavahelisi seoseid;
- seostab geeniregulatsiooni mehhanisme rakkude toimimise ja signaliseerimisradadega;
- hindab organellide toimimise ja rakkudevahelise suhtluse tähtsust rakkude funktsioneerimises, rakkude vananemises ja rakusurmas.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
After completing this course, the student:
- differentiates between major steps in gene regulation from chromatin remodelling to translation and describe the relationships between these processes;
- associates the mechanisms of gene regulation with cell function and signaling pathways;
- evaluates the importance of organelle function and cell-cell communication in cell function, ageing and cell death.
