Animal Cells and Systems is a fully open access journal that covers diverse aspects of biological sciences, including developmental, molecular and cellular.

Animal Cells and Systems is the official journal of the Korean Society for Integrative Biology and was supported by the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies Grant funded by the Korean Government (Ministry of Education).

The journal aims to inform and advance development of the biological sciences.

Animal Cells and Systems includes research in the following areas:

    Developmental Biology
    Evolution and Molecular Ecology
    Genetics & Genomics
    Molecular and Cellular Biology
    Neurobiology and Physiology
    Translational Medicine


The journal considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Animal Cells and Systems and have not been published already, nor are they under consideration for publication or in press elsewhere.

Animal Cells and Systems operates a double anonymized peer review policy.
