Cell, Tissue and Disease: The Basis of Pathology by Katherine Woolf (Lecturer in Medical Education, UCL Division of Medical Education, London, UK)

The new edition of this well-known text is an introduction to general pathology: a subject that bridges the divide between the basic biological sciences and the practice of clinical medicine.

Full account is taken of the rapidly increasing understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms.Improved illustrations More on molecular mechanisms
