Histochemistry: work in progress

As our subscribers have been notified in a recent letter, this issue of the European Journal of Histochemistry is the last one to be edited and printed by “Luigi Ponzio e figlio editori”: They have generously collaborated with us with the greatest care and professionality for the past twenty years and for that we wish to thank Mr. Luigi Ponzio and his entire staff (in particular, Mr. Luigi Guardamagna) most hearthly. The new publisher Tipografia PIME Editrice has assured us of a strong support in the promotion and the development of the image of the European Journal of Histochemistry in its relations with the media at all levels.
