Description
The Liver in Biology and Disease was conceived as a sequel in the series
Principles of Medical Biology, whose
general aim continues to be the integration of human biology and molecular cell biology into modern molecular medicine. It is a volume
molded by the Information Revolution which few will deny has forced the teaching faculties in our medical schools to curtail and prune
the teaching load and focus on fundamentals and principles. With this intention in mind, a volume of this nature takes into account
the close dependence of progress in the medical sciences on bioinformatics (gene and protein analysis) or more precisely, computational
biology and of course, the Internet. In general, it follows the pattern of its predecessors.
Included in series
