《發(fā)育機(jī)制》是一份國際期刊，旨在傳播當(dāng)前在任何模型系統(tǒng)(如動物和植物)中的發(fā)育生物學(xué)研究，這些研究可能側(cè)重于分子和/或細(xì)胞機(jī)制。MOD是國際發(fā)展生物學(xué)家協(xié)會的官方期刊，支持世界范圍內(nèi)的發(fā)展生物學(xué)家團(tuán)體。特別感興趣的領(lǐng)域包括:細(xì)胞和組織形態(tài)發(fā)生包括遷移、形狀和極性，以及物理力在發(fā)育中的作用細(xì)胞生物學(xué)的發(fā)展調(diào)控干細(xì)胞和祖細(xì)胞的維持和分化發(fā)展機(jī)制的演變胚胎前和/或胚胎后組織和器官的發(fā)育涉及研究發(fā)育生物學(xué)相關(guān)機(jī)制的體外方法的手稿;例如，研究干細(xì)胞特性或基本細(xì)胞生物學(xué)機(jī)制的細(xì)胞培養(yǎng)試驗也被接受，我們也歡迎使用基于實(shí)驗數(shù)據(jù)的建模方法進(jìn)行研究。發(fā)育機(jī)制沒有發(fā)表關(guān)于基因表達(dá)模式和分子篩選的描述性研究;如需提交此類研究，請參閱基因表達(dá)模式

Mechanisms of Development is an international journal that communicates current studies in developmental biology in any model system like animals and plants, these may focus on molecular and/or cellular mechanisms. MOD is the official journal of The International Society of Developmental Biologists which supports the world-wide community of developmental biologists.Areas of particular interest include:Cell and tissue morphogenesis including migration, shape and polarity, and the roles of physical forces in developmentDevelopmental cell biologyRegulation of stem cell and progenitor maintenance and cell differentiationEvolution of developmental mechanismsPre and/or post-embryonic development of tissues and organsManuscripts involving in vitro approaches to study mechanisms relevant to developmental biology; e.g., cell culture assays to study stem cell properties or basic cell biological mechanisms are also accepted and we also welcome studies using modelling approaches that are firmly rooted in experimental data.Mechanisms of Development does not publish descriptive studies of gene expression patterns and molecular screens; for submission of such studies see Gene Expression Patterns
