《發育細胞》是一本涵蓋細胞生物學和發育生物學領域的廣譜雜志。它出版研究報告，描述在這兩個領域的所有領域中，以及在它們之間的接口，具有不同尋常意義的新成果。每期雜志都有針對廣大讀者的評論文章。由于其覆蓋面廣，發育細胞對于這兩個領域的研究人員和一般科學界來說都是一個獨特的跨學科資源。發育細胞將考慮任何領域的論文細胞生物學和發育生物學。這些例子包括細胞增殖、細胞內靶向、細胞極性、細胞膜交通、細胞遷移、干細胞生物學、形態發生、基因或通路的發育作用和分化。與所有細胞出版雜志一樣，發表非發育細胞的主要標準是新的生物學見解。我們認識到有許多方法可以獲得這樣的洞察力，發育細胞對使用細胞和發育生物學社區可用的各種方法進行研究感興趣。我們很樂意考慮任何能得出有關生物功能的重要新結論的研究。《發育細胞》是《分子細胞》雜志的合作伙伴，具有相似的出版標準。

Developmental Cell is a broad-spectrum journal that covers the fields of cell biology and developmental biology. It publishes research reports describing novel results of unusual significance in all areas of these two fields, and at the interface between them. Each issue also contains review articles tailored to the journal's broad readership. With this wide coverage, Developmental Cell is a unique cross-disciplinary resource for researchers in both these fields, and for the general scientific community.Developmental Cell will consider papers in any area of cell biology and developmental biology. Examples of these include cell proliferation, intracellular targeting, cell polarity, membrane traffic, cell migration, stem cell biology, morphogenesis, developmental roles of genes or pathways and differentiation. The primary criterion for publication inDevelopmental Cell, as for all Cell Press journals, is new biological insight. We recognize that there are many ways in which such insight can be obtained, andDevelopmental Cell is interested in studies using the full range of methodologies available to the cell and developmental biology communities. We are happy to consider any study that leads to important new conclusions about biological function.Developmental Cell is a complementary partner for its companion journal Molecular Cell, and has similar standards for publication.
