Scope, indexed by disease group
Every kind of human disease, from mechanism to management
Like the thumb index of a clinical reference, the scope is grouped by disease. The groups are illustrative: the journal considers research on any human disease, including work that crosses these groups.
- Infectious diseases
- Bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic and zoonotic infections, including antimicrobial resistance, emerging pathogens and vaccines.
- Chronic diseases
- Cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory, renal and neurological disease, including long-term management.
- Genetic and hereditary disorders
- Monogenic and polygenic conditions, genomic medicine and inherited metabolic disease.
- Immunological diseases
- Autoimmune disease, immunodeficiency, hypersensitivity and transplantation immunology.
- Cancer
- Tumor biology, cancer genetics, screening, treatment and survivorship.
- Rare and orphan diseases
- Diagnostic challenges, natural history and access to treatment for under-studied conditions.
- Congenital conditions
- Birth defects, developmental anomalies, prenatal diagnosis and early intervention.
- Environmental and occupational diseases
- Toxic and workplace exposures, exposure assessment and prevention.
Across every group: pathophysiology, diagnostics, therapeutics, epidemiology and prevention, in clinical, laboratory and population studies. Animal and cell studies are considered where they address human disease. Read the full Aims and Scope.
