Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews-Developmental Biology

Developmental biology is concerned with the fundamental question of how a single cell, the fertilized egg, ultimately produces a complex, fully patterned adult organism. This problem is studied on many different biological levels, from the molecular to the organismal. Developed in association with the Society for Developmental Biology, WIREs Developmental Biology will provide a unique interdisciplinary forum dedicated to fostering excellence in research and education and communicating key advances in this important field. The collaborative and integrative ethos of the WIREs model will facilitate connections to related disciplines such as genetics, systems biology, bioengineering, and psychology.The topical coverage of WIREs Developmental Biology includes: Establishment of Spatial and Temporal Patterns; Gene Expression and Transcriptional Hierarchies; Signaling Pathways; Early Embryonic Development; Invertebrate Organogenesis; Vertebrate Organogenesis; Nervous System Development; Birth Defects; Adult Stem Cells, Tissue Renewal and Regeneration; Cell Types and Issues Specific to Plants; Comparative Development and Evolution; and Technologies.

发育生物学关注的是一个基本问题，即一个单细胞，即受精卵，如何最终产生一个复杂的、完全模式化的成体。这个问题在许多不同的生物学水平上被研究，从分子到生物体。与发展生物学学会联合开发的wire发展生物学将提供一个独特的跨学科论坛，致力于培养研究和教育的卓越性，并交流这一重要领域的关键进展。wire模型的协作和集成特性将促进与相关学科的连接，如遗传学、系统生物学、生物工程和心理学。电线发育生物学的专题报道包括:空间和时间模式的建立;基因表达与转录层次;信号通路;早期的胚胎发育;无脊椎动物器官发生;脊椎动物器官形成;神经系统发展;出生缺陷;成体干细胞、组织再生与再生;植物特有的细胞类型和问题;比较发展与演变;和技术。
