What Is Inflammation. Mediators of Inflammation#adhesion, Eicosanoids, Proteolytic Enzymes, Free Radicals and Cytokines. Resolution And Regulation of Inflammation, Repair and Healing. Inflammation In Chronic and Infectious Diseases. The Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (sirs). Tnf, Nitric Oxide (no), Mmps/timps and Antigen Presentation As Mediators in The Inflammatory Response. The Students Will Understand The Inflammatory Response As a Chaotic Response, and The Involement of Many Cell Types and Different Mediator Systems, and Will Evaluate The Complex Communication Systems Between Them. The Studentd Will Learn to Identify Central Mediator Systems That Are Involved in Different Inflamamtory Diseases, Such As Ischemia, Cancer, Autoimmune Diseases. The Students Will Understand The Molecular Mechanisms That Regulate The Inflammatory Outcome At The Level of The Single Cell. The Students Will Understand The Central Role of Endothelial Cells and Macrophages in The Regulation Of The Inflammatory Response. The Students Will Experience Learning A Chosen Topic in an Independent Manner, and Presenting It While Emphasizing The Molecular Mechanisms and The Regulation of The Inflammatory Process.
