DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY

Developmental Biology (DB) publishes original research on mechanisms of development, differentiation, and growth in animals and plants at the molecular, cellular, genetic and evolutionary levels. Areas of particular emphasis include transcriptional control mechanisms, embryonic patterning, cell-cell interactions, growth factors and signal transduction, and regulatory hierarchies in developing plants and animals.Research Areas Include:? Molecular genetics of development ? Control of gene expression ? Cell interactions and cell-matrix interactions ? Mechanisms of differentiation ? Growth factors and oncogenes ? Regulation of stem cell populations ? Evolution of developmental control ? Gametogenesis and fertilization
