Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the generation and characterization of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines. These lines are derived from patients with various genetic disorders, including neurological conditions, muscular dystrophies, cystic fibrosis, and retinal degenerative diseases. The research focuses on using these hiPSC models to study disease mechanisms and develop potential therapeutic strategies.
