Course Contents:
The lecture is based on research publications on (stem) cell biology and epigenetics. In particular the following topics are presented and discussed: nucleus structure and function; replication of the (epi)genome; reprogramming and (trans)differentiation, epigenetics and chromatin.
Literature:
General cell biology text books, e.g.:
- Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell
- Lodish, Molecular Cell Biology
- Pollard and Earnshaw, Cell Biology
Epigenetics text books, e.g.:
- Allis et al; Epigenetics
- Misteli and Spector; The Nucleus
- Cook ; Principles of Nuclear Structure and Function
Internet material:
- Databases (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez; www.ensembl.org)
Light Microscopy http://www.microscopy.fsu.edu/primer/index.html
Preconditions:
Advanced knowledge in cell biology, molecular biology, molecular genetics and biochemistry.
Official Course Description:
To gain a basic understanding of cell proliferation, differentiation and epigenetic mechanisms.
To understand the relevance of maintaining as well as changing the epigenetic landscape in cellular differentiation, reprogramming and in disease.
To read research publications and to critically evaluate published research data.
To be able to design cell and molecular biological experiments and to analyze, interpret and present experimental results.
