Molecular Pathology

By Antoni Horst Copyright 1991

    This book provides modern views of developments in medical sciences based on advances in molecular pathology. Topics discussed include the molecule; the genome of eukaryotes and its function; gene regulation; the proteins; molecular aspects of inflammation, immunology, and carcinogenesis; molecular biology of the nervous system; molecular defects in the endocrine system; molecular diseases of the blood and blood-forming tissues; and diagnosis of molecular diseases. Four tables and 75 figures illustrate the concepts and provide a quick means to reference important data. Immunologists, pathologists, geneticists, and all other researchers in the biological and medical sciences will find a wealth of information in this ground-breaking new book.
