Course content
Recent developments in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology are remarkable. Molecular・phenomena・physiological mechanisms have been clarified in various research fields.
Contribution to medical care is remarkable, and based on methods obtained from biochemistry and molecular biology, some refractory diseases that could not be treated so far have fundamentally changed the treatment method.
In the future, the flow of such research is expected to widen more and more.
Therefore, this special theory outlines the latest knowledge of biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology.
Purpose of class
Understand and examine the contents of previously published papers on the latest research on biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology.
Goals and objectives
  1. I can outline the importance and issues of regenerative medicine
  2. I can outline the relationship between autophagy and disease
  3. I can explain the molecular mechanisms for the stimulus reception in cells.
  4. I can explain cell signal transduction mechanisms.
  5. I can outline the current research theme
