Immunology Team-Based Learning: Basic Concepts in Immunology

comparison of the medical students' attitudes toward problem-based and lecture-based learning in a course of basic immunology

background: according to the available evidence, problem-based learning (pbl) is one of the most successful methods in achieving higher educational objectives. in this method, the discussion about the subjects that should be taught to the students is based on a real clinical case. various advantages and disadvantages of this method have been addressed in different studies, but the students' att...

Structural Concepts in Immunology and Immunochemistry

This very brief volume reviews current information about certain biochemical and genetic aspects of mitochondria. The authors concentrate their attention on mitochondria replication, and the genetic specification of mitochondria components. This field is developing rapidly and in most areas the final answers are not available; therefore, new discoveries about the topology of mitochondria DNA an...

Translational Insights on Lung Transplantation: Learning from Immunology

The introduction of ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) in the practice of lung transplantation has allowed the reconditioning of the marginal grafts and their conversion into transplantable grafts. In addition, EVLP can provide a platform for the application of various preventive measures to decrease the incidence of post-transplant complications. While the Toronto team targets the attenuation of th...
