Stem Cell Research

Aims & Scope

Stem Cell Research is dedicated to publishing high-quality manuscripts focusing on the biology and applications of stem cell research.

Submissions to Stem Cell Research, may cover all aspects of stem cells, including embryonic stem cells, tissue-specific stem cells, cancer stem cells, developmental studies, genomics and translational research.

Special focus of SCR is on mechanisms of pluripotency and description of newly generated pluripotent stem cell lines.

The journal publishes • Original articles • Short reports • Review articles • Communications • Methods and reagents articles • Lab Resource: Stem Cell Line
