Call for papers for a special issue on Apoptosis

During normal development, a number of transient structures such as tail of anurans and notocord of vertebrates are formed and regress. Cell death had been recognized as a basic cellular process during development more than 80 years ago, but much attention has not been given to its active roles in animal development and tissue remodeling.

With recent advancement of genetic studies, it is now time to consider the roles of cell death during development and regeneration in different organisms and experimental models, and how novel aspects of cell death function will greatly aid our understanding of cell death-related biological phenomena such as cancer, neurodegeneration, as well as tissue homeostasis under stressed conditions. Thus we now plan to publish a special issue focusing on the function of cell death during development and regeneration.

Call for papers for a special issue on Dictyostelium

Morphogenesis and cell differentiation are the greatest principles in development of multicellular organisms. The process of fruiting-body formation in the social amoeba is a perfect representation of those principles, and has attracted attention of developmental biologists as a simple model system for some 60 years. It is about time to review the recent achievements in the developmental studies of the social amoeba and to consider how they can provide benefit to the understanding of developmental mechanisms in general and evolution of multicellular systems as well. Thus we plan to publish a special issue, focusing on developmental mechanisms of the social amoeba and the origin of multicellularity.
