Call For Papers

The potential of stem cells therapies and regenerative medicine is both provocative and powerful, offering the distinct possibility of eventually repairing or replacing tissues damaged from disease, including certain cancers.  By helping speed expert translations of emerging lab discoveries into legitimate clinical trials and bedside application, Stem Cells Translational Medicine ultimately will improve patient outcomes.

Stem Cells Translational Medicine welcomes original articles and concise reviews describing the clinically relevant translational aspects of stem cells and progenitor cells for cell based therapy, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine from the bench to patient care. The Journal covers all clinical translational aspects of stem cells.  The following sections include, but are not limited to, the topics listed:
