Journal Descriptions

Developmental Biology is a highly respected biweekly, peer‑reviewed research journal, first launched in 1959, and currently published by Elsevier on behalf of the Society for Developmental Biology. It is dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge of developmental mechanisms across multicellular organisms. With both print (ISSN 0012‑1606) and online (E‑ISSN 1095‑564X) formats, the journal disseminates innovative original research on molecular, cellular, and genetic processes that govern growth, pattern formation, cell differentiation, and regeneration in animals and plants. The journal’s content spans core developmental biology topics — including transcriptional regulation, embryonic patterning, signal transduction, and stem cell dynamics — and integrates insights from genetics, cell biology, and evolutionary biology. Edited by Ondine Cleaver, PhD, the journal upholds rigorous scientific standards and serves a global audience of developmental biologists, geneticists, and related researchers. Editorial correspondence, including manuscript submissions and peer review processes, is managed through Elsevier’s online systems rather than direct editor email listings. Developmental Biology remains a central publication venue for cutting‑edge discoveries that deepen our understanding of how organisms grow and develop at the most fundamental biological levels.
