Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Stem Cell Reports publishes research on stem cell biology, focusing on cell fate determination, differentiation, and applications in disease modeling and regenerative medicine. Articles investigate the molecular mechanisms regulating stem cell behavior, including the role of signaling pathways, transcription factors, and microRNAs. The journal also covers the development and use of stem cell-derived tissues and organoids for drug discovery, toxicity testing, and therapeutic interventions.
