Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Feature Review Papers on Developmental Biology”, aims to collect high-quality review articles that explore the whole plethora of current research problems in the field of developmental biology. This field includes processes that regulate all aspects of gametogenesis and embryo, fetus and adult development in living organisms, both unicellular and multicellular. Numerous research questions remain unresolved and thus should be the focus of future research, such as, for example, the molecular and genetic mechanisms governing sperm and oocyte development, the commitment of cells to form embryonic and adult tissues, the role and the nature of stem cells, differentiation and dedifferentiation, interrelationships between cells in situ in tissues and organs as a result of both direct and distant communication, mechanisms of aging in cells and organisms, and, importantly, the impact of environmental cues on the developmental processes in plants, animals and humans. We encourage researchers to contribute review papers that highlight the latest developments in their research area, or to invite other relevant experts and their colleagues to participate. We sincerely welcome your submissions to this Special Issue of Biology on any of the subject areas discussed and any others that are closely related to all aspects of developmental biology.
Prof. Dr. Jacek Z. Kubiak
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
