The program offers a refresher course and an in-depth study of the major concepts and methodologies of cell biology, organized around different themes:
Cytoskeleton:Introduction to the different types of cytoskeleton. Polymerization properties of actin and tubulin. Proteins associated with the cytoskeleton and regulating polymerization. Molecular motors. Principles of cell migration.
Cellular Adhesion & Signaling: Adhesive structures cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix, their molecular organization and dynamics. Functions and regulations during development and pathogenesis. Regulation by signaling pathways. Mechanotransduction.
3. addressing and cell trafficking: Ubiquitination and proteasome. Addressing to subcellular compartments, endocytosis and secretion pathways. Molecular basis of vesicular transport, budding, fusion, molecular motors. Signaling in membrane trafficking, genetic diseases related to trafficking and detour by pathogens.
4.cell cycle:Historical introduction. Molecular regulation of the cell cycle. Mitotic spindle, microtubule dynamics and molecular motors, chromosome attachment mechanisms, checkpoints, regulation of mitosis exit and cytokinesis. Mitotic disorders associated with cancer cells.
5. stem cells: cell differentiation, toti-, pluri- and multipotency, embryonic, adult and cancer stem cells
6. programmed cell death: apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis. Stages and modalities of apoptosis, signaling pathways involved. Role in the maintenance of homeostasis. Pathophysiological consequences of deregulation of programmed cell death.
Different study models are presented, in order to introduce the importance of the contribution of biological diversity in the discovery of cellular and molecular mechanisms, as well as in the understanding of human pathologies.

The aim of this course is to introduce functional genomics technologies and to present examples of biological questions that can be asked using them.
This unit aims to present "omics" functional genomics technologies, and some biological questions that they can address.The lectures are given by both associate professors and researchers.
