Clinical and Experimental Medicine publishes reports of clinical and experimental work concerned with the following fields: clinical chemistry, hematology, immunology, oncology and virology. The major criteria for publication will be clarity, experimental soundness and advances in knowledge. Papers containing new clinical or experimental data, or which are likely to contribute to changes in clinical practice or in thinking about a disease will be given priority due to their immediate importance.The following types of articles will be considered for publication: invited or unsolicited Reviews and Editorials; Original papers; Short communications; Letters to the Editor. Submission of case reports, clinical trials and epidemiological studies is not encouraged. The Editor-in-Chief will under certain circumstances consider for publication monothematic issues and supplements devoted to congress proceedings.

Clinical & Experimental Metastasis is an international, multidisciplinary journal devoted to the rapid publication of fundamental advances in basic and applied metastasis research.The coverage encompasses all aspects of metastasis research, whether laboratory-based, experimental or clinical and therapeutic. It includes such areas as molecular biology, pharmacology, tumour biology, and clinical cancer treatment (with all its subdivisions of surgery, chemotherapy and radio-therapy as well as pathology and epidemiology) insofar as these disciplines are concerned with the journal's core subject of metastasis formation, prevention and treatment.Clinical & Experimental Metastasis is the official journal of the Metastasis Research Society.

Clinical and Experimental Nephrology is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal, officially published by the Japanese Society of Nephrology (JSN) to create an international forum for the discussion of research and issues relating to the study of nephrology. The term 'nephrology' in the title was created and brought into use with the establishment of JSN (Japanese Journal of Nephrology, Vol. 2, No.1, 1960). The journal publishes articles on all aspects of nephrology, including basic, experimental, and clinical research, providing a means of sharing research findings and ideas for the members of JSN, and for all researchers who wish to contribute to a better understanding of advances in nephrology. Uniquely, the journal introduces to an international readership original reports from Japan and also the clinical standards discussed and agreed by JSN.

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology provides a medium for the rapid publication of original research papers, short communications, rapid communications and theoretical articles (hypotheses) on the results of clinical and experimental work in pharmacology and physiology. Invited review articles are published occasionally. The Journal aims to make a substantial contribution to effective and productive communication between scientists throughout the world who are working in these interrelated disciplines. Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology has been adopted by the High Blood Pressure Research Council of Australia (HBPRCA) and the Australasian Society of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacologists and Toxicologists (ASCEPT).

Clinical and Molecular Allergy publishes research on all clinical and molecular aspects of allergic (Type 1 hypersensitivity) and primary immunodeficiency disorders (diseases that alter host defense but are not related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection). Studies of allergic or hypersensitive aspects of HIV infection/AIDS or drug desensitization protocols in AIDS, however, fall into the journal’s scope.

Clinical and Translational Oncology is an international journal devoted to fostering interaction between experimental and clinical oncology. It covers all aspects of research on cancer, from the more basic discoveries dealing with both cell and molecular biology of tumour cells, to the most advanced clinical assays of conventional and new drugs. In addition, the journal has a strong commitment to facilitating the transfer of knowledge from the basic laboratory to the clinical practice, with the publication of educational series devoted to closing the gap between molecular and clinical oncologists. Molecular biology of tumours, identification of biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis or prediction of treatment response, identification of new targets for cancer therapy, as well as development of new technologies for research and treatment of cancer are the major themes covered by both the educational series and research articles. A broad spectrum of subjects, including the molecular and cellular bases of di
