Course introduction
To give the students sufficient knowledge about the most important disease mechanisms at the cellular, subcellular and molecular level to be able to understand and explain how diseases and complexes of diseases present themselves at the macroscopic pathologic and clinical level. To present current knowledge about the pathophysiology of most of the more important diseases and to discuss the limits of this understanding. To present examples of diseases where a thourough understanding of the pathophysiologi is available at the cellular and molecular level, and to discuss how this knowledge has been obtained.
