| Purpose of the course | To increase the understanding of the complex interplay of stem cells with their environment. |
| Intended learning outcomes | After the completed course, the participants will understand how the environment controls cellular processes and instructs cells. The students can hypothesize on how disease alters the environment to impact on the cells. The students can reason regarding differences between in vivo and in vitro environment. |
| Contents of the course | The microenviroment of the stem cell, and the functional and structural characteristics that define a stem cell niche. Methods for identifying and analyzing stem cells and their environments. Fate mapping as a tool for studying stem cells niches. Different stem cell niches in vivo. Mimicking physiological stem cell niches in vitro using bioengineering techniques. Stem cell niches in health and disease. |
| Teaching and learning activities | The learning and teaching activities include lectures, group discussions, seminars and audience response sessions with mentometer. |
| Compulsory elements | The discussions and seminars are obligatory. Compensation is according to the instructions of the course director. |
| Examination | The students are examined with individual and group presentations on the course themes. |
| Literature and other teaching material | Recent articles in the field. | Course responsible |
