Epigenética no Desenvolvimento e Hereditariedade (NAU)

Epigenética no Desenvolvimento e Hereditariedade (NAU)

Desenvolva conhecimento na área da epigenética direcionado para as alterações epigenéticas globais que ocorrem durante o desenvolvimento embrionário e alterações epigenéticas associadas à Hereditariedade Epigenética Transgeracional. O curso de Epigenética no Desenvolvimento e Hereditariedade pretende desenvolver e aprofundar o conhecimento na área da epigenética, anteriormente abordado no curso de Introdução à Epigenética.

A Epigenética permite a diferenciação celular em células de tecidos com a mesma informação genética através da alteração hereditária de expressão de genes ou fenótipos que não envolvem alterações na sequência de DNA.

A reprogramação de marcas epigenéticas, incluindo o imprinting genómico, permitem o correto desenvolvimento do embrião e garantem a continuidade da descendência. No entanto, este processo representa também o maior obstáculo no conceito de Hereditariedade epigenética transgeracional.
Com este MOOC irá aprender as principais marcas e mecanismos epigenéticos associados à reprogramação epigenética e imprinting genómico, particularmente a metilação de DNA, e ainda reconhecer o potencial de modulação de marcas epigenéticas induzido por fatores ambientais com transmissão à descendência através da hereditariedade epigenética transgeracional.
O extraordinário potencial e aplicabilidade da epigenómica fomentam uma necessidade crescente de enquadrar esta área emergente da ciência no contexto do laboratorial clínico, para a qual, atualmente, a oferta de ações formativas é ainda diminuta.
Comece a sua formação com o Politécnico de Lisboa e descubra os processos-chave da epigenética.

Medical Neuroscience explores the functional organization and neurophysiology of the human central nervous system, while providing a neurobiological framework for understanding human behavior. In this course, you will discover the organization of the neural systems in the brain and spinal cord that mediate sensation, motivate bodily action, and integrate sensorimotor signals with memory, emotion and related faculties of cognition. The overall goal of this course is to provide the foundation for understanding the impairments of sensation, action and cognition that accompany injury, disease or dysfunction in the central nervous system. The course will build upon knowledge acquired through prior studies of cell and molecular biology, general physiology and human anatomy, as we focus primarily on the central nervous system.
