Journal of Cell and Developmental Biology is an open access, peer reviewed periodical that focuses on the evolution, development, growth, regeneration, and functions of the cells while tracing the disorders it may attract. The journal thus underlines the importance of addressing cell disorders that may lead to a plethora of other chronic diseases, including cancer. The Journal of Cell and Developmental Biology caters to the interests of the cytologists, radio-oncologists, clinical practitioners, general physicians, hematologists, students, researchers and academicians. The journal thus includes a wide spectrum of topic for study, including Cell biology, Developmental biology, Cell differentiation, Regeneration, Allometry, Pluripotency, Cell signaling, Leucopenias, Lymphocytopenia, Cellular communication, Germ cell, and Cancer cell.
The journal encourages advancements in the areas not limited to the one mentioned above in the form of research articles, reviews, commentaries, case studies and letters to the editor. The online submission system facilitates a user friendly article submission, review and publication process. Manuscripts that are thoroughly peer reviewed are published to maintain a high quality scientific standard.

Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process):
Journal of Cell and Developmental Biology is participating in the Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) with an additional prepayment of $99 apart from the regular article processing fee. Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process is a special service for the article that enables it to get a faster response in the pre-review stage from the handling editor as well as a review from the reviewer. An author can get a faster response of pre-review maximum in 3 days since submission, and a review process by the reviewer maximum in 5 days, followed by revision/publication in 2 days. If the article gets notified for revision by the handling editor, then it will take another 5 days for external review by the previous reviewer or alternative reviewer.
Acceptance of manuscripts is driven entirely by handling editorial team considerations and independent peer-review, ensuring the highest standards are maintained no matter the route to regular peer-reviewed publication or a fast editorial review process. The handling editor and the article contributor are responsible for adhering to scientific standards. The article FEE-Review process of $99 will not be refunded even if the article is rejected or withdrawn for publication.
The corresponding author or institution/organization is responsible for making the manuscript FEE-Review Process payment. The additional FEE-Review Process payment covers the fast review processing and quick editorial decisions, and regular article publication covers the preparation in various formats for online publication, securing full-text inclusion in a number of permanent archives like HTML, XML, and PDF, and feeding to different indexing agencies.
Cell therapy (also called cellular therapy or cytotherapy) is therapy in which cellular material is injected into a patient, this generally means intact, living cells.
Two distinct categories of cell therapy are recognized.
The first category is cell therapy in mainstream medicine. This is the subject of intense research and the basis of potential therapeutic benefit, i.e., (a) Allogeneic Cell Therapy (b) Human embryonic stem cells (c) Neural Stem Cell Therapy (d) Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy (e) Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
The second category is in alternative medicine, and perpetuates the practice of injecting animal materials in an attempt to cure disease. This practice, according to the American Cancer Society, is not backed by any medical evidence of effectiveness, and can have deadly consequences.
Germplasm are living genetic resources such as seeds or tissues that are maintained for the purpose of animal and plant breeding, preservation, and other research uses. These resources may take the form of seed collections stored in seed banks, trees growing in nurseries, animal breeding lines maintained in animal breeding programs or gene banks, etc.
Cryopreservation or cryo-conservation is a process where organelles, cells, tissues, extracellular matrix, organs or any other biological constructs susceptible to damage caused by unregulated chemical kinetics are preserved by cooling to very low temperatures (typically −80 °C using solid carbon dioxide or −196 °C using liquid nitrogen).
Bone marrow is the flexible tissue in the interior of bones. In humans, red blood cells are produced by cores of bone marrow in the heads of long bones in a process known as hematopoiesis. On average, bone marrow constitutes 4% of the total body mass of humans. The hematopoietic component of bone marrow produces approximately 500 billion blood cells per day, which use the bone marrow vasculature as a conduit to the body's systemic circulation. Bone marrow is also a key component of the lymphatic system, producing the lymphocytes that support the body's immune system.
Human genetics is the study of inheritance as it occurs in human beings. Human genetics encompasses a variety of overlapping fields including: classical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, genomics, population genetics, developmental genetics, clinical genetics, and genetic counseling. Genes can be the common factor of the qualities of most human-inherited traits. Study of human genetics can be useful as it can answer questions about human nature, understand the diseases and development of effective disease treatment, and understand genetics of human life.
Human embryogenesis is the process of cell division and cellular differentiation of the embryo that occurs during the early stages of development. In biological terms, human development entails growth from a one celled zygote to an adult human being. Fertilization occurs when the sperm cell successfully enters and fuses with an egg cell. The genetic material of the sperm and egg then combine to form a single cell called a zygote and the germinal stage of prenatal development commences. Human embryology is the study of this development during the first eight weeks after fertilization. The normal period of gestation is nine months or 38 weeks.
Anatomy is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts; with further division into zootomy and phytotomy. Anatomy is related to embryology and comparative anatomy, which itself is closely related to evolutionary biology and phylogeny. Human anatomy is one of the basic essential sciences of medicine. The discipline of anatomy is divided into macroscopic and microscopic anatomy. The history of anatomy is characterized by a progressive understanding of the functions of the organs and structures of the human body.
Evolutionary Developmental Biology, is a field of biological research that compares the developmental processes of different organisms to infer the ancestral relationships between them and how developmental processes evolved.
Regeneration indicates the ability to regrow a missing part. This is very prevalent amongst plants, which show continuous growth, and also among colonial animals such as hydroids and ascidians.
Pluripotency refers to a stem cell that has the potential to differentiate into any of the three germ layers: endoderm, mesoderm or ectoderm.
Cell signalling is part of any communication process that governs basic activities of cells and coordinates all cell actions. The ability of cells to perceive and correctly respond to their microenvironment is the basis of development, tissue repair, and immunity as well as normal tissue homeostasis.
Cellular communication is an umbrella term used in biology and more in depth in biophysics and biochemistry to identify different types of communication methods between living cells. This process allows millions of cells to communicate and work together to perform important bodily processes that are necessary to survival.
Germ cell is any biological cell that gives rise to the gametes of an organism that reproduces sexually. In many animals, the germ cells originate in the primitive streak and migrate via the gut of an embryo to the developing gonads.
Germination is the process by which an organism grows from a seed or similar structure. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm. In addition, the growth of a sporeling from a spore, such as the spores of hyphae from fungal spores, is also germination. Thus, in a general sense, germination can be thought of as anything expanding into greater being from a small existence or germ.
