Clinical applications of stem cells

Stem Cell Research & Therapy has published the first articles in a new thematic series on clinical applications of stem cells and is now inviting research submissions for the series. For more information read the introductory editorial from Series Editor Mahendra Rao (National Institutes of Health, USA), or the related blog post.

Cell Regeneration welcomes your best research

Cell Regeneration has published its first set of high quality research articles with BioMed Central. It welcomes novel research articles as well as in depth reviews in modern biology, especially in the field of stem cell and regenerative biology, and regenerative medicine. The journal is supported by Guangzhou Institute of Biomedicine and Health, which covers APCs for all authors. In the launch issue it presented novel approaches to grow cells in vitro or ideas that may eventually help us to regenerate cell or tissues in vivo. Read more at the launch blog.


Focus on Stem Cells - a new thematic series

The explosion of interest in stem cells, over the past decade or so, in both basic and translational research has encouraged three of BioMed Central's flagship journals, BMC Biology, BMC Medicine and Genome Medicine, to come together to present a series of specially commissioned comment and review articles on stem cell biology and medicine. In this thematic series we aim to highlight some of the most important and topical issues - including recent advances, controversies and challenges in stem cell research, and of course their clinical implications. To supplement the comment and review, relevant original research articles will be added to the series as they are published.
