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.

《干細胞評論與報告》旨在涵蓋干細胞研究和再生醫(yī)學的當代和新興領域。該期刊將考慮發(fā)表：

i) 征求或未經請求的干細胞生物學專題評論，重點介紹、批評和綜合該領域的最新重要發(fā)現(xiàn)。

ii) 介紹原創(chuàng)實驗工作的全文和簡短報告。

iii) 描述使用干細胞作為治療方法的臨床試驗結果的轉化干細胞研究。

iv) 專注于干細胞疾病的論文。

v) 假設和評論文章作為基于觀點的文章，作者可以在其中提出新理論、對干細胞生物學有爭議領域的解釋或干細胞生物學問題或范式。這些文章包含的推測多于評論，但它們應該基于堅實的理論基礎。

vi) 協(xié)議是同行評審的程序，提供分步描述，概述得足夠詳細，以便專家和新手都可以將其應用于自己的研究。

vii) 致編輯的信和通信。

為了促進科學信息和令人興奮的新想法的交流，該雜志創(chuàng)建了五個專題部分，重點關注：

i) 成體干細胞在組織再生中的作用；

ii) 誘導多能干細胞、胚胎干細胞和控制胚胎發(fā)生和組織發(fā)育的機制的研究進展；

iii) 微環(huán)境和細胞外微泡在指導干細胞命運中的作用；

iv) 干細胞運輸、干細胞動員和歸巢的機制，特別強調造血；

v) 干細胞在衰老過程和癌變中的作用。

Stem Cell Reviews And Reports創(chuàng)刊于2005年，由Springer US出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋CELL & TISSUE ENGINEERING - CELL BIOLOGY全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數4.5，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
