Biomedical Basis of Human Disease: From Research to Clinic provides information on pathophysiology/mechanisms of organ system disease and selected disorders and diseases that cause the most deaths worldwide, including but not limited to cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous systems. This information is placed within the structural context of tissue/organ, molecular and cellular biology, pathophysiology, diagnostic and treatment methods, and disease models in sections that also describe recent research examples, such as recently developed cutting-edge in vitro and in vivo biomedical science methods to bridge the bench and bedside. This text is suitable for students, researchers and practitioners in biomedicine and basic medicine.
