Respiratory Tract Diseases, General Pathology and MicrobiologyModule General Pathology
Academic Year 2022/2023 - Teacher: FERDINANDO NICOLETTIExpected Learning Outcomes
The main objectives of the course will be aimed at understanding: the etiological factors responsible for the alterations of cell function; the cellular and molecular pathogenic mechanisms of pathological processes; the mechanisms underlying the responses of the body's defense and immune system disorders, in particular: hypersensitivity reactions, the immunodeficiencies and autoimmune disorders; control mechanisms of cell proliferation and apoptosis.
