《发育机制》是一份国际期刊，旨在传播当前在任何模型系统(如动物和植物)中的发育生物学研究，这些研究可能侧重于分子和/或细胞机制。MOD是国际发展生物学家协会的官方期刊，支持世界范围内的发展生物学家团体。特别感兴趣的领域包括:细胞和组织形态发生包括迁移、形状和极性，以及物理力在发育中的作用细胞生物学的发展调控干细胞和祖细胞的维持和分化发展机制的演变胚胎前和/或胚胎后组织和器官的发育涉及研究发育生物学相关机制的体外方法的手稿;例如，研究干细胞特性或基本细胞生物学机制的细胞培养试验也被接受，我们也欢迎使用基于实验数据的建模方法进行研究。发育机制没有发表关于基因表达模式和分子筛选的描述性研究;如需提交此类研究，请参阅基因表达模式

Mechanisms of Development is an international journal that communicates current studies in developmental biology in any model system like animals and plants, these may focus on molecular and/or cellular mechanisms. MOD is the official journal of The International Society of Developmental Biologists which supports the world-wide community of developmental biologists.Areas of particular interest include:Cell and tissue morphogenesis including migration, shape and polarity, and the roles of physical forces in developmentDevelopmental cell biologyRegulation of stem cell and progenitor maintenance and cell differentiationEvolution of developmental mechanismsPre and/or post-embryonic development of tissues and organsManuscripts involving in vitro approaches to study mechanisms relevant to developmental biology; e.g., cell culture assays to study stem cell properties or basic cell biological mechanisms are also accepted and we also welcome studies using modelling approaches that are firmly rooted in experimental data.Mechanisms of Development does not publish descriptive studies of gene expression patterns and molecular screens; for submission of such studies see Gene Expression Patterns
