Assuming no prior knowledge of the principles of diagnostic science, chapters follow a consistent format. Each opens with a set of learning objectives, an introduction to the topic and a description of the relevant biochemistry, molecular and cell biologies and physiology. How this biology is altered during the development of diseases and their diagnoses, management and treatment are then discussed. Real cases are used to illustrate the importance of biology in understanding the causes of disease, as well as in diagnosis and therapy. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout and is now presented in full colour, with more case studies, questions and illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummarises the biological bases of common diseases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses real cases, placing basic science in a clinical context for the student\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes learning objectives, end-of-chapter summaries and questions for self-testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensively illustrated in full colour with explanatory line diagrams and photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs associated with additional online resources for students and lecturers, available for download at www.routledge.com\/9781032284361 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second edition of \u003ci\u003eBiology of Disease \u003c\/i\u003eis primarily aimed at meeting the needs of both undergraduate and postgraduate students of the biomedical sciences.
