Molecular Pathology of Lung Diseases

Molecular Pathology of Lung Diseases, the first volume in the Molecular Pathology Library Series under the series editorship of Philip T. Cagle, MD provides a bridge between clinical pulmonary pathology and basic molecular science. It is designed to provide a practical disease-based overview that wi...
