Biochemistry and Pathophysiology: Understanding the Molecular Basis of Disease
Biochemistry and pathophysiology are intertwined fields that play a critical role in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying human health and disease. Biochemistry, the study of the chemical processes within and related to living organisms, provides the foundation for understanding the molecular pathways that govern cellular function. Pathophysiology, on the other hand, focuses on the physiological changes that occur in response to disease or injury, revealing how alterations at the biochemical level contribute to disease progression.
