Basic knowledge of Immunology

Fontal lessons with active learning

none

The exam consists of 3 statements (true or false) + the explanation. Each statements accounts for a maximum of 11 points, so that the student can reach 33 corresponding to 30 cum laude.

The role of immune system in tissue regeneration. Innate and adaptive immunity.
The phases of tissue healing and immune cell polarization.
Tissue regeneration: methods involving stem cells, biomaterials, drug delivery systems

The student will deepen their knowledge of the mechanisms of immune cells, mediating tissue regeneration and novel approaches to reach this goal
