The text also describes the interphase nucleolar organizer regions in cancer cells; the disease associations, molecular biology, and pathophysiology of antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies; and the mechanisms and roles of apoptosis in pathology. The molecular events in measles virus infection of the central nervous system are also considered. Pathologists, microbiologists, and immunologists will find the book useful.
