Journal Title：Stem Cell Reviews And Reports

The purpose of Stem Cell Reviews and Reports is to cover contemporary and emerging areas in stem cell research and regenerative medicine. The journal will consider for publication:

i) solicited or unsolicited reviews of topical areas of stem cell biology that highlight, critique and synthesize recent important findings in the field.

ii) full length and short reports presenting original experimental work.

iii) translational stem cell studies describing results of clinical trials using stem cells as therapeutics.

iv) papers focused on diseases of stem cells.

v) hypothesis and commentary articles as opinion-based pieces in which authors can propose a new theory, interpretation of a controversial area in stem cell biology, or a stem cell biology question or paradigm. These articles contain more speculation than reviews, but they should be based on solid rationale.

vi) protocols as peer-reviewed procedures that provide step-by-step descriptions, outlined in sufficient detail, so that both experts and novices can apply them to their own research.

vii) letters to the editor and correspondence.

In order to facilitate this exchange of scientific information and exciting novel ideas, the journal has created five thematic sections, focusing on:

i) the role of adult stem cells in tissue regeneration;

ii) progress in research on induced pluripotent stem cells, embryonic stem cells and mechanism governing embryogenesis and tissue development;

iii) the role of microenvironment and extracellular microvesicles in directing the fate of stem cells;

iv) mechanisms of stem cell trafficking, stem cell mobilization and homing with special emphasis on hematopoiesis;

v) the role of stem cells in aging processes and cancerogenesis.

干细胞评论和报告的目的是涵盖干细胞研究和再生医学的当代和新兴领域。该期刊将考虑出版：

i) 对干细胞生物学专题领域的征集或非征集评论，突出、批评和综合该领域最近的重要发现。

ii) 展示原始实验工作的完整和简短报告。

iii) 描述使用干细胞作为治疗剂的临床试验结果的转化干细胞研究。

iv) 专注于干细胞疾病的论文。

v) 假设和评论文章作为基于观点的文章，作者可以在其中提出新理论，解释干细胞生物学中的争议领域，或干细胞生物学问题或范式。这些文章包含的猜测多于评论，但它们应该基于可靠的理由。

vi) 协议作为经过同行评审的程序，提供分步说明，并进行了足够详细的概述，以便专家和新手都可以将它们应用到自己的研究中。

vii) 给编辑的信件和信件。

为了促进这种科学信息和令人兴奋的新颖想法的交流，该杂志创建了五个主题部分，重点是：

i) 成体干细胞在组织再生中的作用；

ii) 诱导多能干细胞、胚胎干细胞及胚胎发生和组织发育机制的研究进展；

iii) 微环境和细胞外微泡在指导干细胞命运中的作用；

iv) 干细胞运输、干细胞动员和归巢机制，特别强调造血；

v) 干细胞在衰老过程和癌变中的作用。
