Comparative Pathology

Comparative pathology is a branch of pathology that compares healthy tissue to diseased tissue. It seeks to understand why a specific disease occurs and how various diseases affect their respective organisms. Comparative pathology enables researchers to identify the underlying cause of diseases and provides evidence to establish new treatments and diagnostic tests. The findings of comparative pathology have contributed to the development of safe, effective treatments for various diseases. Comparative pathology is used in both clinical and research settings to detect, diagnose, and treat diseases, and to identify potential therapeutic targets.
