Aims & Scope✦ Compiled from public sources

Cell Stem Cell covers the entire spectrum of stem cell biology, including embryonic stem cells, pluripotency, germline stem cells, tissue-specific stem cells, stem cell differentiation, epigenetics, stem cell genomics, systems biology, and genome reprogramming. The journal also pursues interdisciplinary studies on how stem cell function is impacted by and influences injury response, disease, and aging, as well as therapeutic applications and regenerative medicine.
