中文简介

由施普林格出版。ISSN: 1550-8943。任何医学领域都无法避免受到干细胞研究成果的影响。近年来，研究戏剧性地揭示出干细胞具有无限的潜能，可以在体内转化成多种细胞类型，理论上只要宿主还活着，干细胞就会无休止地分裂，以补充其他细胞。当一个细胞分裂时，每一个由此分裂产生的新细胞都有能力在体内(血液、器官、肌肉、神经)发育出另一种功能更为特殊的细胞。干细胞研究已被证明对全世界的生物学家和研究人员具有很高的价值，有助于更好地理解各种复杂的医疗条件，如出生缺陷和癌症，以及纠正其病因的潜力。此外，干细胞为研究和治疗心血管疾病、关节炎、中枢神经系统疾病和糖尿病等领域的各种疾病、残疾和病症提供了稳定的细胞和组织来源的可能性。干细胞综述将致力于对干细胞研究中的重要课题进行及时、批判性的综述，作者将在这些课题上做出重大贡献。这本季刊将立即成为每个干细胞生物学家和医学研究者的必读，因为它检查和批判性地评估该领域的新信息。编辑评论和其他读者特别感兴趣的项目也将提供。

英文简介

Published by Springer. ISSN: 1550-8943.No area of medicine can avoid being affected by developments resulting from stem cell research. In recent years, research has dramatically revealed that stem cells possess an unlimited potential to transform themselves into a variety of cell types within the body, theoretically dividing endlessly to replenish other cells as long as its host is still alive. As a cell divides, each new cell resulting from that division has the ability to develop another type of cell with a more specialized function within th body (blood, organ, muscle, nerve). Stem cell research has already proven of high value to biologists and researchers worldwide in better understanding a variety of complex medical conditions, such as birth defects and cancer, as well as the potential to correct their causes. In addition, stem cells offer the possibility of a steady source of cells and tissues to aid in the study and treatment of a variety of illnesses, disabilities, and conditions in the fields of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, CNS, and diabetes. Stem Cell Reviews will be devoted to the publication of timely, critical reviews of important topics in stem cell research, topics on which the authors will have made significant contributions. This quarterly journal will immediately become must reading for every stem cell biologist and medical investigator as it examines and critically evalsuates new information in the field. Editorial commentaries and other items of special interest to its readers will also be offered.
