Laboratory Investigation

Laboratory Investigation is an international journal owned by the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) and edited by a board appointed by the Council of the Academy. Laboratory Investigation offers prompt publication of high-quality original research in all biomedical disciplines relating to the understanding of human disease and the application of new methods to the diagnosis of disease. Both human and experimental studies are welcome. Particular emphasis is given to original research exploring the pathobiology of disease, including insights gained into the structural and molecular pathogenesis of disease, and the biological basis for morphologic manifestations of disease. Laboratory Investigation also constitutes a forum for translation of basic research findings into the progress of diagnosis and assessment of human disease, by means of any laboratory diagnostic methodology. Consideration is given to novel technical advances in the diagnosis of human disease or in the investigation of human or experimental disease. Laboratory Investigation also publishes occasional concise Minireviews and comprehensive Biology of Disease articles.

The journal features the following types of papers:

• Editorial
• Inside Lab Invest
• Pathobiology in Focus
• Perspective
• Letter to the Editor
• Minireview
• Research Articles
• Technical Reports
