CytoJournal (CJ) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal focused on pathological cellular alterations occurring during the initiation and progression of diseases, as well as their diagnostic and translational applications. The journal is founded on the study of cellular morphology, structure, function, phenotype, and molecular abnormalities, covering a broad range of areas including cytopathologic diagnosis, new cell pathology technologies, molecular cytopathology, digital and artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted cytology, cellular microenvironment, single-cell and spatial omics, organoid research, disease mechanisms, prognostic assessment, and precision medicine.CJ is committed to promoting the translation of cellular-level research findings into applications for disease detection, pathological diagnosis, therapeutic decision-making, and personalized medicine. The journal aims to establish an international open-access academic platform that connects cytopathology, molecular diagnostics, digital intelligence, and precision medicine.CJ publishes various types of articles including Original Articles, Reviews, Editorials, CytoJournal Monograph Related Review Series, Systematic Reviews, Methodology Articles, Book Reviews, Case Reports, Quiz Cases, Letters to the Editor, and Debates.
