The course of lectures is principally focused on familiarization with the mechanisms of activation and regulation of cell death (apoptosis, regulated necrosis, etc.) and related events. In particular, mammalian (human or mouse) cells are model cells / organisms for analyzing these mechanisms. In addition to mammalian cells, the mechanisms of regulated cell death are presented in other vertebrates, invertebrates and unicellular organisms, and plants. Last but not least, the association between regulated cell death and physiological or pathophysiological states and manifestations of the organism is pointed out.

The exam will be in the extent of the subject matter as a written test containing 3 blocks of questions: a/ section of quiz questions, b/part encompassing short questions and answers and c/ two more complex questions dealing with in detail description or assesment of an important mechanism(s) or process(es) in regulated cell death. 

Academic year: 2020/2021:

During anti-epidemic measures the lectures will be presented online via web using Google meet (timing as regular lecture - i.e. Tuesdays at 13:00).
