Journal Title：Mechanisms Of Development

Mechanisms of Development is an international journal covering the areas of cell biology and developmental biology. In addition to publishing work at the interphase of these two disciplines, we also publish work that is purely cell biology as well as classical developmental biology.

Mechanisms of Development will consider papers in any area of cell biology or developmental biology, in any model system like animals and plants, using a variety of approaches, such as cellular, biomechanical, molecular, quantitative, computational and theoretical biology.

Areas of particular interest include:

Cell and tissue morphogenesis

Cell adhesion and migration

Cell shape and polarity

Biomechanics

Theoretical modelling of cell and developmental biology

Quantitative biology

Stem cell biology

Cell differentiation

Cell proliferation and cell death

Evo-Devo

Membrane traffic

Metabolic regulation

Organ and organoid development

Regeneration

Mechanisms of Development does not publish descriptive studies of gene expression patterns and molecular screens; for submission of such studies see Gene Expression Patterns.

《發育機制》是一本涵蓋細胞生物學和發育生物學領域的國際期刊。除了發表這兩個學科交叉階段的論文外，我們還發表純細胞生物學和經典發育生物學的論文。

《發育機制》將考慮細胞生物學或發育生物學任何領域的論文，在任何模型系統（如動物和植物）中使用各種方法，如細胞、生物力學、分子、定量、計算和理論生物學。

特別感興趣的領域包括：

細胞和組織形態發生

細胞粘附和遷移

細胞形狀和極性

生物力學

細胞和發育生物學的理論建模

定量生物學

干細胞生物學

細胞分化

細胞增殖和細胞死亡

Evo-Devo

膜運輸

代謝調節

器官和類器官的發育

再生

《發育機制》不發表基因表達模式和分子篩選的描述性研究；有關此類研究的提交，請參閱基因表達模式。

Mechanisms Of Development創刊于1990年，由Elsevier Ireland Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 發育生物學全領域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領域中專業影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質量佳，選擇此期刊，發表機率較高。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 約12.4周，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
