Molecular Pathology: The Molecular Basis of Human Disease, 2nd Edition

As
the molecular basis of human disease becomes better characterized, and
the implications for understanding the molecular basis of disease
becomes realized through improved diagnostics and treatment, Molecular Pathology,
Second Edition stands out as the most comprehensive textbook where
molecular mechanisms represent the focus. It is uniquely concerned with
the molecular basis of major human diseases and disease processes,
presented in the context of traditional pathology, with implications for
translational molecular medicine.

The Second Edition of Molecular Pathology
has been thoroughly updated to reflect seven years of exponential
changes in the fields of genetics, molecular, and cell biology which
molecular pathology translates in the practice of molecular medicine. 
The textbook is intended to serve as a multi-use textbook that would be
appropriate as a classroom teaching tool for biomedical graduate
students, medical students, allied health students, and others (such as
advanced undergraduates). Further, this textbook will be valuable for
pathology residents and other postdoctoral fellows that desire to
advance their understanding of molecular mechanisms of disease beyond
what they learned in medical/graduate school. In addition, this textbook
is useful as a reference book for practicing basic scientists and
physician scientists that perform disease-related basic science and
translational research, who require a ready information resource on the
molecular basis of various human diseases and disease states.

• Explores
  the principles and practice of molecular pathology: molecular
  pathogenesis, molecular mechanisms of disease, and how the molecular
  pathogenesis of disease parallels the evolution of the disease
• Explains the practice of “molecular medicine? and the translational aspects of molecular pathology
• Teaches from the perspective of “integrative systems biology?
• Enhanced digital version included with purchase
