2000: OVERVIEW

One of the main problems in making a personal choice among the papers published in EJH during the last year is that they cover a broad variety of topics. This is obviously related to the subject matter of a journal of histochemistry such is EJH, which covers basic research, application to pathology, new techniques and so on. In this context, I appreciate that in 2000 EJH has published two almost monographic issues, based on symposia on nuclear lipid signalling and on apoptosis. The idea of introducing issues dedicated to the multifaceted aspects of a problem gives the reader, in my opinion, the opportunity to broaden one’s interests or curiosity. The papers in these issues are in fact from groups which are well-known in the field and each one presents a different part of the spectrum of the problem.
