Description
The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series has been written to reflect the challenges of practising biomedical science today. It draws together essential basic science with insights into laboratory practice to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is coupled to the analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis. Assuming only a minimum of prior knowledge, the series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a biomedical scientist may be exposed - from microbiology to cytopathology to transfusion science.Biology of Disease provides an integrated introduction to the basic cell biology that underlies disease processes and the diagnosis and management of those diseases. By telling the whole story of how a disease develops, how it is diagnosed, and how it is treated, the text provides a thorough understanding of both the molecular and clinical aspects of diseases that are needed to succeed as a practising health care professional. Featuring a wide range of diseases, the
