Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The World Journal of Stem Cells focuses on research related to stem cell biology and its therapeutic applications. Articles explore the potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and their derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) for regenerative medicine. Key areas include enhancing stem cell efficacy through preconditioning (e.g., hypoxia), understanding mechanisms of self-renewal and differentiation, and investigating their roles in treating various conditions such as myocardial infarction, osteoarthritis, infertility, and neurological disorders. The journal also covers challenges and advancements in stem cell therapy translation, including manufacturing, regulatory aspects, and biomarker identification.
