Developmental Cell is a broad-spectrum journal that covers the fields of cell biology and developmental biology. It publishes research reports describing novel results of unusual significance in all areas of these two fields, and at the interface between them. Each issue also contains review articles tailored to the journal's broad readership. With this wide coverage, Developmental Cell is a unique cross-disciplinary resource for researchers in both these fields, and for the general scientific community.Developmental Cell will consider papers in any area of cell biology and developmental biology. Examples of these include cell proliferation, intracellular targeting, cell polarity, membrane traffic, cell migration, stem cell biology, morphogenesis, developmental roles of genes or pathways and differentiation. The primary criterion for publication inDevelopmental Cell, as for all Cell Press journals, is new biological insight. We recognize that there are many ways in which such insight can be obtained, andDevelopmental Cell is interested in studies using the full range of methodologies available to the cell and developmental biology communities. We are happy to consider any study that leads to important new conclusions about biological function.Developmental Cell is a complementary partner for its companion journal Molecular Cell, and has similar standards for publication.Visit the Developmental Cell website to find out more - http://www.developmentalcell.com .

Experimental Cell Research promotes the understanding of cell biology by publishing experimental studies on the general organization and activity of cells. The scope of the journal includes all aspects of cell biology, from the molecular level to the level of cell interaction and differentiation.Experimental Cell Research publishes papers in the area of cell and molecular biology, and papers must provide novel and significant insights into important problems in these areas. Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:- Apoptosis and programmed cell death- Cancer research- Cell cycle- Cell proliferation and differentiation- Cellular motility and migration- Cell-cell and cell-matrix interaction- Chromatin- Chromosome structure and dynamics- Cytoskeleton- Developmental biology- DNA repair- Epigenetics- Extracellular matrix- Gene regulation- Intracellular trafficking- Mammalian genetic models- Meiosis and mitosis- MicroRNA- Nuclear import-export- RNA processing- Signal transduction- Stem cell biology- Subcellular organizationExperimental Cell Research has partnered with Gastroenterologyhttp://www.gastrojournal.org/ to offer fast track review for certain articles. Articles rejected from Gastroenterology because of their strong biological focus may be directed to ECR for fast track review. Similarly, articles deemed too clinical for ECR and more appropriate for Gastroenterology may be fast tracked through Gastroenterology's review process. Both journals retain editorial independence and reserve the right to request additional changes, re-review, or reject manuscripts.

Experimental Gerontology is a multidisciplinary journal for the publication of work from all areas of biogerontology, with an emphasis on studies focused at the systems level of investigation, such as whole organisms (e.g. invertebrate genetic models), immune, endocrine and cellular systems, as well as whole population studies (e.g. epidemiology). The journal also publishes studies into the behavioural and cognitive consequences of aging, where a clear biological causal link is implicated.Studies aimed at bridging the gap between basic and clinical aspects of gerontology, such as papers on the basic aspects of age-related diseases, are welcomed, as is research orientated toward the modulation of the aging process.Manuscripts on social aspects of aging and reports on clinical studies do not fall within the scope of the journal.In addition to original research manuscripts, short reports, reviews, mini-reviews, commentaries, perspectives, meeting reports and opinions on controversial subjects are published."Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

The international multidisciplinary journal is devoted to the publication of studies covering the whole range of experimental research on disease processes and toxicology including cell biological investigations. Its aim is to support progress in the interdisciplinary cooperation of researchers working in pathobiology, toxicology, and cell biology independent of the methods applied. During the past decades increasing attention has been paid to the importance of toxic influence in the pathogenesis of human and animal diseases. This is why Experimental and Toxicologic Pathology meets the urgent need for an interdisciplinary journal felt by a wide variety of experts in medicine and biology, including pathologists, toxicologists, biologists, physicians, veterinary surgeons, pharmacists, and pharmacologists working in academic, industrial or clinical institutions.

The aim of this study was to visualize the expression of androgen receptor, cytochrome P450 aromatase and FSH receptor mRNAs in various structures of porcine ovary. Porcine ovaries were frozen in liquid nitrogen, and 8 mm sections were prepared for in situ hybridization. In the small, medium and large antral follicles as well as in early, midluteal and regressing corpora lutea mRNAs for androgen receptor, P450 aromatase and FSH receptor were detected. In small antral follicles high levels of mRNAs for androgen and FSH receptors were observed, mainly in the granulosa layer, while mRNA expression for P450 aromatase was negligible. As follicles grew, amount of mRNAs for androgen receptor and FSH receptor decreased, and that for P450 aromatase increased. Small amounts of androgen receptor mRNA were also present in corpora lutea at all examined stages. P450 aromatase mRNA was not detected in early and midluteal corpora lutea. However, regressing corpus luteum showed a weak expression of aromatase mRNA.
