Developmental and Reproductive Biology

A section of Biology (ISSN 2079-7737).

Section Information

This Section covers two overlapping fields: developmental and reproductive biology. The processes of embryonic development are direct consequences of reproductive events, and both are necessary for the propagation of life.

Developmental and reproductive biology have evolved enormously in recent years due to the application of modern methods of scientific analysis and interdisciplinary approaches. Developmental processes are now followed by live imaging, allowing researchers to visualize processes that escape traditional imaging techniques. In addition, improved culture conditions have allowed us to follow developmental stages of fetuses that have so far been hidden. Genomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and other omic approaches allow for the global interpretation of all kinds of genetic data at a new level of accuracy. Recent technological progress has changed all aspects of biomedical studies, which are the center of the scope of our “Developmental and Reproductive Biology” Section of Biology. We want to take advantage of this progress and publish modern papers that will have a high impact on both developmental and reproductive biology.

Therefore, we invite our future authors to publish original and review articles on mechanisms of embryonic development, cell differentiation, growth, homeostasis, regeneration in humans, animals, plants, and unicellular organisms, stem cells, organoids, sex differentiation, gonad development, the hormonal regulation of reproduction, reproductive immunology and toxicology, and environmental effects on health, reproduction, and embryo development in the “Developmental and Reproductive Biology” Section. We also invite manuscripts covering the immunological aspects of pregnancy and the mechanisms of immune tolerance of genetically disparate embryos by the mother. We want to focus this Section on molecular, cellular, genetic, and evolutionary aspects of developmental and reproductive processes in all organisms. We are also interested in publishing papers on aging and pathologies related to reproduction and developmental processes, like cancers, genetic disorders, or toxicologic adverse effects.
