Objectives of the Course Explaining the basics of conventional and unconventional cell death mechanisms and their roles in development, physiology and pathology.
Describing a broad range of topics in cell death field including apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, necroptosis, lysosome-dependent cell death, entosis, anoikis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, anastasis, mitotic death and immunogenic cell death.
Course Content This course aims at how cells decide their mode of death depending on stress and pathological conditions. In addition to that, we will identify the different classification of cell death processes and mechanisms. The different cell death processes that will be covered in the course are apoptosis, extrinsic apoptosis, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-driven necrosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, parthanatos, entotic cell death, NETotic cell death, lysosome-dependent cell death, autophagy-dependent cell death, immunogenic cell death, cellular senescence, and mitotic catastrophe.
