Overview
Major in cell and developmental biology covers basic courses for histology and development in the school of dentistry. We study osteocyte- related attachment, differentiation, metabolic signaling pathways, bio-material responses, biological development mechanism, odontogenesis mechanism and teeth regeneration.
Goals of education
Goals of this major are to promote the development of basic biological dentistry by understanding responses to structures, development, growth, death and surrounding conditions of cells and tissues as the interactions of molecules, cells, tissues and organs, and studying them with microscopic and molecular biological methods.
Contents of education
- Understanding structures, functions, development, growth, death and surrounding conditions of cells and tissues in maxillofacial and oral areas
- Understanding the mutual relationships between cellular signaling systems or protein complexes by understanding biological phenomena of various cells controlling development, growth and function of various tissues in maxillofacial and oral areas as the interaction of network between cells, or between proteins and cells or between proteins
- Understanding various biological phenomena of various cells about development, growth and regulation of various tissues in maxillofacial and oral areas at levels of interconnect system of DNA, mRNA, protein, and functional proteins, and network of signaling pathway. Predicting biological phenomena by understanding the logic and module information.
