New Insights in Developmental Biology: V4SDB Meeting 2021

Dear Colleagues,

Despite being the birthplace of several great developmental biologists over the past century, Developmental Biology has not been at the forefront of science in either Central or Eastern Europe in the past couple of decades. The Visegrád Society for Developmental Biology (V4SDB) was established in 2018 to provide better local visibility for this exciting scientific field and to act as an amplifier for the results of developmental biologists from this region. This Special Issue will provide a conduit to do just that and promote the discoveries of colleagues, especially those presented at the second meeting of our Society, scheduled to take place at Szeged in early September 2021 (https://www.v4sdbszeged.com).

While our main goal is to provide better visibility for developmental biologists from the Visegrád (V4) and neighboring countries, for this Special Issue, we also welcome contributions from all of our international colleagues.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Life.
