Scientific Papers by Developmental Biologists in Japan
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Scientific Papers by Developmental Biologists in Japan" represents a collection of high-quality review articles, research articles and communications on the development of multicellular organisms at the molecule, cell, tissue, organ, and whole organism levels, submitted by the developmental biologists working in Japan. By representing different areas of research on developmental biology, this Special Issue serves to expand emerging fields in developmental biology, focusing on the specific topic from the relevant laboratories in Japan. We kindly encourage our colleagues involved in all fields of developmental biology to make contributions to this Special Issue.
