Features: This book is divided into 23 chapters and mainly consists of three parts. The first part covers fundamental principles of molecular biology, explaining the structure and function of genes, DNA replication and repair in the genome, gene expression and regulation, cellular signal transduction, and other basic issues of molecular biology from the perspective of genes and genomes. The second part takes clinical problems that harm human health as clues, elucidating the mechanisms of disease occurrence and development from a molecular biology perspective. The third part introduces the application of molecular biology techniques in clinical settings, specifically addressing molecular diagnosis, molecular prevention, and molecular therapy. The fundamental guiding principle of this book's compilation is to lean toward clinical problems in theoretical issues and toward clinical applications in experimental techniques, making it understandable as a clinical molecular biology. In terms of writing principles, it emphasizes introducing fundamental theories, basic knowledge, and basic skills while incorporating the latest advancements in related fields as much as possible. The target readers of this book are undergraduate students and clinical doctors from five-year clinical medicine programs and related majors across the country. It primarily serves as a required or elective textbook for medical molecular biology for medical undergraduates, as a reference book for clinical doctors to expand their knowledge of medical molecular biology, and as a study guide for the National Medical License Examination and postgraduate entrance examinations in medical molecular biology.
