Share Description
The course covers functional, metabolic, and informational aspects of common pathologic processes such as signalling, reception, post-receptor translation, programming and programme archiving, and programme conflicts in living systems. It includes an analysis of the resulting injury and defensive responses in individual cells, organs and tissues, and the entire organism. The lectures are based on the author's original three-volume textbook and workshop in Pathophysiology, which has been republished numerous times in Russia.
