Molecular Pathology and The Dynamics of Disease

Description

Molecular Pathology and the Dynamics of Disease bridges the basic science of, and primary clinical literature on, human disease. Topics covered include several major disease areas, such as inflammation and host response, vascular disease, obesity, weight regulation and appetite, cancer biology, drug development, and gene- and cell-based therapeutics that are all presented in a way that emphasizes the interplay between clinical care and investigation. As new technologies and techniques are constantly changing and laboratory scientists plays a critical role in validating data used by clinicians in diagnosing patients, this book provides a timely guide that includes a clinical, research and theory perspective.

Key Features

• Assimilates theoretical knowledge with practical lab work
• Provides a needed clinical perspective, along with research and theory
• Highlights the impact of basic science on the practice of medicine
