OBMP 9004 - Topics in Oral Biology IV



This course includes lecture series on the basic principles of disease, relevant morphological and biochemical features, and the underlying mechanism at the cellular, subcellular, and molecular level. The course is composed of three blocks: I. Molecular Pathology; II. Mechanisms in Normal and Abnormal Cell Proliferation; III. Normal and Abnormal Craniofacial Development. Specific topics include advanced concepts of disease at the cellular and subcellular level, to include principles and basic mechanisms of cell injury, inflammation, signal transduction, carcinogenesis, oncogenes, and neoplasia.
