發(fā)育生物學(xué)關(guān)注的是一個(gè)基本問(wèn)題，即一個(gè)單細(xì)胞，即受精卵，如何最終產(chǎn)生一個(gè)復(fù)雜的、完全模式化的成體。這個(gè)問(wèn)題在許多不同的生物學(xué)水平上被研究，從分子到生物體。與發(fā)展生物學(xué)學(xué)會(huì)聯(lián)合開(kāi)發(fā)的wire發(fā)展生物學(xué)將提供一個(gè)獨(dú)特的跨學(xué)科論壇，致力于培養(yǎng)研究和教育的卓越性，并交流這一重要領(lǐng)域的關(guān)鍵進(jìn)展。wire模型的協(xié)作和集成特性將促進(jìn)與相關(guān)學(xué)科的連接，如遺傳學(xué)、系統(tǒng)生物學(xué)、生物工程和心理學(xué)。電線(xiàn)發(fā)育生物學(xué)的專(zhuān)題報(bào)道包括:空間和時(shí)間模式的建立;基因表達(dá)與轉(zhuǎn)錄層次;信號(hào)通路;早期的胚胎發(fā)育;無(wú)脊椎動(dòng)物器官發(fā)生;脊椎動(dòng)物器官形成;神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)發(fā)展;出生缺陷;成體干細(xì)胞、組織再生與再生;植物特有的細(xì)胞類(lèi)型和問(wèn)題;比較發(fā)展與演變;和技術(shù)。

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.
