Genes, Gene Products, and Transcription Factors -- Receptors, Signaling Pathways, Cell Cycle, and DNA Damage Repair -- Cell Adhesion Molecules -- Apoptosis and Cell Death -- The Role of Mutation and Epimutation in the Development of Human Disease -- Bioinformatics and Omics -- General Approach to Molecular Pathology -- Applications in Anatomic Pathology -- Polymerase Chain Reaction and Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction -- Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization in Pathology -- Loss of Heterozygosity -- In Situ Hybridization: Principles and Applications -- Proteomics -- Immunohistochemistry of Biomarkers -- Basic Principles of Flow Cytometry -- Stem Cells -- Animal Models of Lung Disease -- Tissue Culture Models.

The Molecular Pathology Library series was created to bridge the gap between traditional basic science textbooks in molecular biology and traditional medical textbooks for organ-specific diseases. Basic Concepts of Molecular Pathology is designed as a stand-alone book to provide the pathologist, clinician or radiologist with a concise review of the essential terminology, concepts and tools of molecular biology that are applied to the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases in the age of personalized medicine.
