Goals In this program it is aimed to tell genome organization, gene expression and regulation within the framework of stem cell.
Course Content The topics that will be told in the scope of cell molecular biology and genetics like genome organization, gene expression, translation, post-transcriptional and translational regulations, epigenetic modifications, cell cycle control, will also be evaluated within the framework of stem cell. In addition to stem cell molecular mechanisms in the organ generation and regeneration and cell aging, definition of cancer stem cells will also be included. Current topics as gene therapy and stem cell usage in gene therapy will also be discussed.
Learning Outcomes 1) Evaluates basic characteristics of stem cells
2) Defines molecular pathways of stem cells in the development period and in the organ and tissue generation.
3) Has the capacity of comparing stem cell genome organization, gene expression and control mechanisms with the normal cells'.
