Development Growth & Differentiation (DGD) publishes original papers on any subjects having a context in development, growth, and differentiation processes in animals, plants and microorganisms, dealing with molecular, genetic, cellular and organismal phenomena and regeneration, while using experimental to theoretical approaches.  Papers on other fields are also welcome, including stem cell biology, genomics, neuroscience, Evodevo, Ecodevo, and medical science as well as related methodology (new or revised techniques) and bioresources.  
Submission of review articles is also encouraged, especially those providing a new scope based on the authors’ own study, or a summarization of their study series.
Development Growth & Differentiation is supported in part by a Grant-in-Aid for Publication of Scientific Research Results from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), Japan.
