The Official Journal of the European Society of Pathology.

Mission statement: To advance the scientific basis of human pathology, and thereby contribute to patient care, through the publication of high-quality research (including molecular and translational studies).

• We consider original studies reinforcing the evidence base of modern diagnostic pathology, using immunocytochemical, molecular and ultrastructural techniques.
• We welcome critical evaluations of diagnostic criteria, broadsheets and guidelines with a solid evidence base, and applicable experimental work.
• Biomarker studies should be of adequate sample size, relevant marker choice, and abide by strict rules (e.g. REMARK).
• Case reports are considered only when they provide substantial new information with an impact on understanding disease/diagnostic practice.
