Welcome to BMC Developmental Biology published by BioMed Central
BMC Developmental Biology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in the development, growth, differentiation and regeneration of multicellular organisms, including molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and whole organism research.
BMC Developmental Biology (ISSN 1471-213X) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, Scopus, EMBASE, Zoological Record, Current Contents, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.

Both WW domain binding sites of dystroglycan affect cell polarity in Drosophila oocytes and a partial redundancy is demonstrated by rescue experiments, implying that both can bind the WW domain of dystrophin in vivo.

Rhombomere boundary cells of the chick hindbrain regulate stage-specific FGF3 expression, as shown by atypically sustained FGF3 expression following either overexpression of a truncated ephrin receptor (EphA4) or surgical resection of rhombomere boundary cells.

During corneal epithelial healing, the age of limbal stem cells (LSCs) and wound position relative to the peripheral location of LSCs governs the production and centripetal movement of cells generated to effect clonal repair.
