hAFCs recover ovarian function

Human amniotic fluid stem cells (hAFCs), injected into the ovaries of sterile mice, have the ability to restore ovarian morphology, indicating the potential of these cells for reproductive regenerative medicine.

Hox gene evolution

Jordi Garcia-Fernandez and colleagues review our current knowledge of Hox gene cluster evolution in deuterostomes, and discuss ways to increase our understanding of the evolutionary processes of these transcription factors in future.

Scope

BMC Developmental Biology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on the development, growth, differentiation and regeneration of multicellular organisms, including molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and whole organism research.

It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
