Models of Experimental Regeneration and Biomaterials

Recommended Prerequisites

Human Physiopathology

Animal welfare

Teaching Methods

For the teaching of the unit is used the expositive method and also the resolution of problems and the development of tasks.

Learning Outcomes

- To understand the mechanisms of cellular and tissue regeneration

- Defining biomaterials and their interest in human pathology

- To apply experimental models of regeneration and to understand the mechanisms involved in the regeneration of cells, tissues and organs.

Work Placement(s)

Syllabus

- The concept of regeneration and characterization of the biologic mechanisms involved

- Regeneration of cells, tissues and organs

- Cell and tissue interactions in regeneration

- Experimental regeneration models
