MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY

Edición de la obra MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY

The extraordinary and almost unprecedented increase in the rate of growth of knowledge of molecular biology since 1940 has presented the physician today with concepts and insights that touch at the very foundation stone of the origin of life in terms more precise than ever could have been contemplated before. With such an avalanche of theoretical and research data at hand, contemporary potential is for increased comprehension in the unravelling of those secrets once inherently disguised as the so-called "mysteries" of the universe - primary fundamental messages of nature.Understanding of these is already providing the medical scientist with new thresholds for conceptual approaches to the disease process at the molecular level.(Stacey B. Day, Chapter 1, "The Molecular Basis of Disease").
