Author:Vinay Kumar FRCPath, Abul K. Abbas, Jon C. Aster, Jayanta Debnath, Abhijit Das
Edition:11th Edition
The mechanisms underlying disease are explored by linking cellular and molecular changes to clinical manifestations across organ systems. It examines processes such as cell injury, inflammation, immune responses, and neoplasia, while integrating genetics, pathology, and physiology to explain how diseases develop, progress, and affect the human body.
