Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on research into stem cell biology and its therapeutic applications. Articles explore the use of various stem cells, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and others, for treating conditions such as autoimmune diseases, degenerative diseases, and tissue repair. The scope also encompasses the study of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and exosomes derived from stem cells as therapeutic agents and their underlying mechanisms of action, as well as the development and application of organoid technology for disease modeling and drug discovery.
