Molecular Pathophysiology

Meaning

Molecular Pathophysiology is the detailed study of the functional changes associated with disease at the level of individual molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, and small signaling molecules. This discipline aims to elucidate the specific alterations in molecular structure, concentration, or interaction that ultimately lead to the manifestation of clinical symptoms and organ dysfunction. In the domain of hormonal health, it provides the precise scientific basis for understanding how genetic mutations or environmental factors disrupt endocrine signaling cascades, such as hormone synthesis, receptor binding, or downstream gene expression.
