Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry

Aims & Scope

Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry (JHC) has been a recognized cell biology journal for over 50 years.

Published monthly, JHC emphasizes research which employs in situ evaluation of biology central to the hypothesis.

The journal publishes primary research articles, timely reviews, and perspective articles on the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs, as well as mechanisms of development, differentiation, and disease.

JHC also publishes new developments specimen handling, microscopy and imaging, especially where imaging techniques complement genetic, molecular and biochemical investigations of cell and tissue function.

JHC offers generous space for articles that emphasize the value of images in revealing molecular, cellular and tissue organization.

Color figures are published free.

The Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry is the official journal of the Histochemical Society.
