Biologia-Citologia medica - Medical Biology-Cytology

ITALIAN EDITION

Medical Biology-Cytology is a modern text mainly oriented towards the “medical” aspect, in order to provide students with tools to understand the subject and a study model they can apply to other disciplines during their medical education.
The volume has been divided into blocks of educational material:
• Text and figures – essential topics;
• In-depth analysis with figures – supplementary topics;
• Areas of clinical biology;
• Additional contents in the Virtual Campus web area – multimedia supplementary material.
Each chapter is introduced by a paragraph on Prerequisites, that is, the basic knowledge necessary for a correct framing of the discussed topics, a paragraph on Study Objectives and a Summary of the topic, and is concluded by Key Concepts relative to the topics examined. Topics have been organized considering the main phenomena involved in different cellular functions (Flows of matter, Flows of energy, Flows of information) and how evolution and organogenetic processes (Organization of specialized phenotype) affect the cellular phenotype to allow the formation of tissues, organs and systems.

The web platform – Virtual campus – includes a rich catalogue of educational material. To browse through these resources, students can take advantage of guided interactive courses presented in a lesson format.
