Learning objectives
Knowledge and understanding: the course aims to provide students with
the tools and theoretical concepts for the study of the morpho-functional
organization of stem cell niches of human body.
Applying knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course the student should know the 'anatomical organization of stem cell niches and the interaction between the different cellular populations residing there. Making
judgements: at the end of the course, the student should be able to support an anatomical argument regarding the correlation between the structure of the niche, its function, and the humoral factors that may regulate its function. Communication skills: at the end of the course the student will be expected to express himself/herself in appropriate technical language. Learning
skill: at the end of the course, the student should be able to summarize a short scientific article related to adult stem cells.
