Rubin and Damjanov's latest volume of Pathology Reviews highlights the latest progress in the interface of biology and disease. Forefront techniques and experimental models that were once considered exotic or esoteric, are explored here in the context of understanding more fully the processes involved in human disease. Topics include: regulation of liver growth * contractile cells in lungs * mineral formation in bone * folate metabolism * the "riddle of the mast cell" * HLA antigens * interleukin 6 * IgA nephropathy * Goodpasture syndrome * anti-basement membrane glomerulonephropathy * molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis * molecular diagnosis of cancer * inhibition of intercellular communication in carcinogenesis * DNA repair and its pathogenetic implications * human and rat mammary tumorigenesis. Pathology Reviews * 1990 is essential reading for everyone concerned with the mechanisms of disease.

Rather, until The concept that human disease is a specialized branch of biology is universally accepted today, but in the mid-20th century, the accretion of individual historical perspective, is actually of recent origin. At examples of the biological nature of disease processes provided the framework for an evolutionary change in one time, the heliocentric theories of astronomy and the metallurgic transmutations of alchemy had their thinking. The new psychological and philosophical milieu provided the basis for an unprecedented accel counterparts in magical and vitalistic approaches to eration in the pace of biomedical research. It is clear human disease. Any relation between disease of humans and that of animals was not only unacceptable that the biological revolution of the last 35 years was made possible not only by technological advances and intellectually, but abhorrent theologically. Humans (and their diseases) were unique, and biology was the innovative analytical methods, but also by an intellec domain of those who studied animals and plants. tual emphasis on the unity of biological processes.

Durante más de 30 años, Rubin & Strayer. Patología se ha convertido en uno de los referentes obligados en la educación y enseñanza de la especialidad. Al igual que en ediciones anteriores, la 8.ª edición sigue cumpliendo con el cometido de introducir al lector en el aprendizaje de la patología, no como la sucesión de un conjunto de factores aislados o de procesos enigmáticos que deben memorizarse y enseguida olvidarse, sino como la fragilidad y la mortalidad humana presentadas como conceptos que el lector debe asimilar y principios que debe aplicar. La visión de los autores se ha plasmado en una obra elogiada por incluir «justo lo que los estudiantes de medicina necesitan», es decir, un perfecto equilibrio entre la patología básica y la clínica, sin detalles que excedan las necesidades de los lectores. Con un diseño fácil y entretenido, y con un enfoque integral de la patología como punto de confluencia de la afectación de diferentes órganos y sistemas, Rubin & Strayer. Patología se organiza en tres secciones con el fin de facilitar aún más la asimilación de conceptos y el desarrollo de principios. La primera sección aborda los mecanismos de enfermedad, la segunda detalla las distintas enfermedades por sistemas de órganos, y la última sección, con los capítulos en línea, cubre la patogenia de las enfermedades sistémicas.
