Sexual Development

最近在实验和临床研究方面的发现使我们对控制性别决定和分化的遗传和环境机制、它们的进化以及干扰正常性腺发育的突变或内分泌和代谢异常的知识取得了令人印象深刻的进展。性发展为这个迅速扩展的领域提供了一个独特的论坛。其范围广泛，涵盖了遗传学、分子生物学、胚胎学、内分泌学、进化和病理学的所有方面，在人类和动物的性别决定和分化。出版高质量的研究原稿、评论文章、短篇报告、案例报告和评论。国际知名的多学科编辑团队，由三位主编、十位杰出的科学家担任部门编辑，以及一群杰出的编辑委员会成员组成，确保了编辑处理和同行评审的快速和友好。

Recent discoveries in experimental and clinical research have led to impressive advances in our knowledge of the ?genetic and environmental mechanisms governing sex determination and differentiation, their evolution as well as the mutations or endocrine and metabolic abnormalities that interfere with normal gonadal development. Sexual Development provides a unique forum for this rapidly expanding field. Its broad scope covers all ?aspects of genetics, molecular biology, embryology, endocrinology, evolution and path?ology of sex determination and differentiation in humans and animals. It publishes high-quality original research manuscripts, review articles, short reports, case reports and commentaries. An internationally renowned and multidisciplinary editorial team of three chief editors, ten prominent scientists serving as section editors, and a distinguished panel of editorial board members ensures fast and author-friendly editorial processing and peer reviewing.
