eISSN: 15515044 | ISSN: 00221554 | Current volume: 72 | Current issue: 4 Frequency: Monthly

A pre-eminent cell biology journal for over 65 years, the Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry publishes primary research articles, timely reviews, editorials, and perspectives focused on the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs, as well as mechanisms of development, differentiation, and disease. The journal also publishes new developments in microscopy and imaging, especially novel techniques that complement current genetic, molecular and biochemical approaches. 

Among the topics regularly covered are:

  • Antigen Retrieval
  • Cytoskeleton
  • Differentiation
  • Epigenetics
  • Extracellular Matrix
  • Gene and Protein Expression
  • Image Analysis and Methodology
  • Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry
  • In Situ Hybridization
  • Light and Electron Microscopy
  • Normal and Tumor Cell Behavior
  • Signal Transduction
  • Stem Cell

This publication will be of particular interest to those involved in cell biology, pathology, anatomy, microscopy, molecular biology, imaging techniques, neuroscience, biochemistry, biomedicine, genetics, medicinal chemistry, microbiology, spectroscopy, and toxicology.

This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

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.
