Kursens syfte | To increase the understanding of mechanotransduction in cancer in development, and the different approaches and methods available for studying mechanotransduction. |
Kursens lärandemål | Upon completion of the course, the doctoral students can understand and describe basic concepts of mechanotransduction at the cellular level. The students can describe the roles of mechanotranscription in normal physiology. The students can identify and critically evaluate experimental methods appropriate to providing mechanical signals to biological systems. The students can identify and critically evaluate experimental methods appropriate to measuring mechanical properties of biological systems. |
