Journal Guide

During the last few decades, Cytogenetic and Genome Research has been the leading forum for original reports and reviews in human, animal, insect, and plant cytogenetics, including clinical, molecular, and comparative cytogenetics. With the advance of microarray and high-throughput sequencing technologies, many of its papers have centered on genome research, including chromosome structure and function, genome evolution, human disease pathogenesis, cancer genomics, gene regulation and expression, epigenetics, and related areas. Also featured are recent international reports on human and animal chromosome nomenclature. In addition to regular issues, the journal publishes topical issues on a broad variety of themes.

Devoted exclusively to the study of the molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, diagnostic and clinical applications of all known interleukins, hematopoietic factors, growth factors, cytotoxins, interferons, and new cytokines, Cytokine provides comprehensive coverage of cytokines and their receptors, 12 times a year by publishing original high quality refereed scientific papers from prominent investigators in both the academic and industrial sectors.Special issues:Suggestions for special issue topics and guest editors can be sent to Paul Taylor, p.taylor@elsevier.comBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews publishes thought-provoking articles (critical reviews, state-of-the-art reviews, letters to the editor, meeting reviews) devoted to important advances in the rapidly changing fields of growth factor and cytokine research. Major emphasis is placed on the multidisciplinary significance of cytokines and growth factors in areas as diverse as signal transduction, cell growth and differentiation, embryonic development, immunology, tumorigenesis and clinical medicine.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Cytometry, Part A embraces the study of the cytome, covering all aspects of molecular analysis of cellular systems in the following areas: cytomics (studies linking the genome and proteome to cell regulation and function), flow cytometry, image cytometry, molecular array technologies, as well as other cell-based spectroscopic analyses and associated bioinformatics/computational methodologies. The research featured in the journal encompasses not only the development of the techniques and reagents needed to measure cell features and cellular constituents, but also investigations that primarily employ these techniques for characterization in order to provide an understanding of function and regulation in the context of the cell, organ, and organism. Cytometry, Part A publishes original research articles, in-depth reviews, rapid communications of new, novel 'hot' topics, and technical innovation articles. Topical coverage includes:

Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry focuses on the development and applications of cellular system analysis and array based technologies as applied to clinical practice and translational research. This journal also covers relevant techniques such as flow cytometry, image cytometry, beadbased and slide-based array analyses, as well as other cell-based spectroscopic analyses. In addition, Clinical Cytometry publishes clinical and translational investigations that identify and validate the features and molecules important in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic management of patients Clinical Cytometry is an official publication of the International Clinical Cytometry Society.

The aim of Cytopathology is to publish articles relating to those aspects of cytology which will increase our knowledge and understanding of the aetiology, diagnosis and management of human disease. It contains original articles and critical reviews on all aspects of clinical cytology in its broadest sense, including:

Cytoskeleton focuses on all aspects of cytoskeletal research, spanning genetic and cell biological observations, biochemical, biophysical and structural studies, mathematical modeling and theory. This includes, but is certainly not limited to, classic polymer systems of eukaryotic cells and their structural sites of attachment on membranes and organelles, as well as the bacterial cytoskeleton, the nucleoskeleton, and uncoventional polymer systems with structural/organizational roles. The journal is published in 12 issues annually, and special issues will be dedicated to especially-active or newly-emerging areas of cytoskeletal research. Cytoskeleton serves as a venue for the rapid and fair evaluation of manuscripts, leading to the publication of high-quality articles that advance the cytoskeleton field. The journal welcomes submission of research papers, reviews & commentaries.

Cytotechnology incorporating Methods in Cell Science is an international journal covering up-to-date developments, methods and techniques in cell culture research involving in vitro systems, as well as the applications of that research in human and veterinary medicine, toxicology, animal and plant cell biotechnology. The aim is to centralize information on both the infrastructure of cell technology and the applied use of cell cultures and thus generate a better understanding of the many facets and disciplines needed to develop successful cell culture processes. Topics include the derivation, genetic modification and characterization of cell lines, cell culture techniques, cell culture systems, processes, reactors, scale-up, and industrial production, and the application of cells in a range of investigations, including application in gene therapy and tissue engineering. The journal publishes original papers, reviews, short communications, meeting reports and book reviews.

Cytotherapy is the Official Journal of the International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT).Cytotherapy publishes cutting edge findings, clinical trials of cell-based therapies, and news and opinion on all aspects of the rapidly expanding field of cell-based treatments for cancer, degenerative disorders, immunotherapy and stem cell transplantation. The journal focuses especially on the practical translation of scientific developments in the laboratory into clinical practice. Cytotherapy is an essential global resource for clinical researchers, oncologists, hematologists, physicians, and regulatory experts involved in cell processing and therapy.The journal's scope includes research in:Stem cell processing and transplantationCell-based therapies of malignant and non-malignant blood diseasesCancerStem cell plasticityAutoimmune diseasesImmunotherapyCongenital disordersNovel molecular therapiesGene therapyMicrovesicle biology and therapeutic application
