Journal Title：Differentiation

Differentiation is a multidisciplinary journal dealing with topics relating to cell differentiation, development, cellular structure and function, and cancer. Differentiation of eukaryotes at the molecular level and the use of transgenic and targeted mutagenesis approaches to problems of differentiation are of particular interest to the journal.

The journal will publish full-length articles containing original work in any of these areas. We will also publish reviews and commentaries on topics of current interest.

The principal subject areas the journal covers are: ? embryonic patterning and organogenesis

? human development and congenital malformation

? mechanisms of cell lineage commitment

? tissue homeostasis and oncogenic transformation

? establishment of cellular polarity

? stem cell differentiation

? cell reprogramming mechanisms

? stability of the differentiated state

? cell and tissue interactions in vivo and in vitro

? signal transduction pathways in development and differentiation

? carcinogenesis and cancer

? mechanisms involved in cell growth and division especially relating to cancer

? differentiation in regeneration and ageing

? therapeutic applications of differentiation processes.

Differentiation 是一本多學科期刊，涉及細胞分化、發育、細胞結構和功能以及癌癥等主題。該期刊特別關注真核生物在分子水平上的分化以及使用轉基因和定向誘變方法解決分化問題。

該期刊將發表包含上述任何領域原創作品的全文文章。我們還將發表當前熱門話題的評論和評論。

該期刊涵蓋的主要主題領域包括：? 胚胎模式和器官發生

? 人類發育和先天畸形

? 細胞譜系承諾機制

? 組織穩態和致癌轉化

? 細胞極性的建立

? 干細胞分化

? 細胞重編程機制

? 分化狀態的穩定性

? 體內和體外細胞和組織的相互作用

? 發育和分化中的信號轉導途徑

? 致癌作用和癌癥

? 涉及細胞生長和分裂的機制，特別是與癌癥有關的機制

? 再生和衰老中的分化

? 分化過程的治療應用。

Differentiation創刊于1973年，由Elsevier BV出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 發育生物學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 約10.7周，影響因子指數2.2，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
