(ASIP) IS TO PROMOTE THE DISCOVERY, ADVANCEMENT, AND DISSEMINATION OF BASIC AND TRANSLATIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY AND RELATED DISCIPLINES. THIS SHALL BE ACHIEVED BY FOSTERING INVESTIGATION INTO THE PATHOGENESIS, CLASSIFICATION, DIAGNOSIS, AND MANIFESTATIONS OF DISEASE THROUGH MEETINGS, PUBLICATIONS, AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES. 0 0 1194224 30833 855873 PUBLICATIONS AND MEMBER SERVICESTHE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY (AJP) IS THE LEADING GLOBAL FORUM FOR REPORTING QUALITY ORIGINAL RESEARCH ON CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF DISEASE, AND IS THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INVESTIGATIVE PATHOLOGY (ASIP) AND IS PUBLISHED BY ELSEVIER, INC. THE JOURNAL PUBLISHES HIGH-QUALITY ORIGINAL RESEARCH REPORTS, REVIEWS, AND COMMENTARIES RELATED TO THE MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BASIS OF DISEASE. THE EDITORS ACCEPT MANUSCRIPTS THAT ADVANCE BASIC, TRANSLATIONAL, AND CLINICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE MECHANISMS OF PATHOGENESIS OR PROVIDE A FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE MECHANISTIC INQUIRIES. EXAMPLES OF SUCH FOUNDATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS INCLUDE DATA MINING, IDENTIFICATION OF BIOMARKERS, MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY, AND DISCOVERY RESEARCH. FOUNDATIONAL STUDIES THAT INCORPORATE DEEP LEARNING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ARE ALSO WELCOME. HIGH PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO STUDIES OF HUMAN DISEASE AND RELEVANT EXPERIMENTAL MODELS USING MOLECULAR, CELLULAR, AND ORGANISMAL APPROACHES. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY IS THE MOST HIGHLY CITED JOURNAL IN THE FIELD OF PATHOLOGY RESEARCH.THE JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS (JMD) PUBLISHES HIGH-QUALITY ORIGINAL PAPERS ON SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES IN THE TRANSLATION AND VALIDATION OF MOLECULAR DISCOVERIES IN MEDICINE INTO THE CLINICAL DIAGNOSTIC SETTING, AND THE DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IN THE FIELD OF MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTIC MEDICINE. ARTICLES REPORT NOVEL DISCOVERIES WITH DIRECT APPLICATION TO CLINICAL DIAGNOSTICS OR CLINICOPATHOLOGIC CORRELATIONS INCLUDING STUDIES IN ONCOLOGY, INFECTIOUS DISEASES, INHERITED DISEASES, PREDISPOSITION TO DISEASE, CLINICAL INFORMATICS, OR THE DESCRIPTION OF POLYMORPHISMS LINKED TO DISEASE STATES OR NORMAL VARIATIONS; THE APPLICATION OF DIAGNOSTIC METHODOLOGIES IN CLINICAL TRIALS; AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW OR IMPROVED MOLECULAR METHODS FOR DIAGNOSIS OR MONITORING OF DISEASE OR DISEASE PREDISPOSITION. SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE TECHNICAL ADVANCES, A PEER-REVIEWED SECTION FEATURING NOVEL METHODS TO SOLVE DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMAS.
