Course content

Lectures: 1. Molecular and functional properties of cell membranes (composition, structure, semipermeability, fluidity, rafts, liposomes). 2. Membrane and vesicular transport in a cell (transport of water, ions, small organic molecules, ion channels, membrane potential, action potential, vesicles, molecular motors, endocytosis). 3. Biologicaly active substances (biological signals, signal transmission and cellular response, receptors, enzymes, hormones, cytokines, growth factors, neurotransmitters). 4. Cell-signalling (signal transduction, intracellular signalling pathways and responses). 5. Cytoskeleton (morphology, adhesion, movement, intracellular transport, genome organisation, and cell division). 6. Cellular energetics (metabolism, redox reactions, glycolysis, mitochondria, Krebs cycle, respiratory chain, neuroplasticity, neurotoxicity). 7. Mechanisms of cell damage and reparation (free radicals, oxidative stress, antioxidative protection, hypoxia, ischemia). 8. Nucleus and regulation of gene expression (RNA replication, modifications and types of RNA, translation, regulation of transcription, differentiation, stem cells). 9. Protein synthesis and modification. 10. Cell death. 11. Cell phenotypes. 12. Tissues (cell-cell junctions, extracellular matrix). 13. Neuro-immune-endocrine regulation; senescence; neurodegeneration. Practices: 1. Cell models (isolation of cels, membranes and organels; liposomes; centrifugation). 2. Modelling of membrane potential - PC-based simulation using NeuroLab programme (resting potential - effect of ion balance and membrane permeability, velocity of action potential propagation). 3. Modelling of action potential - PC-based simulation using Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ) programme (effect of ions and blockators of ion channels on action potential). 4. Modelling of action potential - PC-based simulation using SimNerve programme (conditions for firing of action potentials and refractory period). 5. Virtual laboratory equipment for simulation of electrophysiological functions - PC-based simulation of patch clamp method using SimPatch programme (study of voltage-dependent ion channels in the neuronal membrane, measurement of ion currents and effects of blockators of ion channels). 6. Data analysis from electrophysiological experiments. 7. Experimental methods of cell biology 1: Fluorescence ion biological research. 8. Experimental methods of cell biology 2: Flow cytometry. 9. Experimental methods of cell biology 3: Respirometry. 10. Experimental methods of cell biology 4: Enzyme activities. 11. Experimental methods of cell biology 5: Radiochemical methods.
