Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2011, 2:49MicroRNAs in stem cell aging
Differential expression of microRNAs is an integral component of biological aging in mesenchymal stem cells, regulating gene expression related to a variety of functions including cellular proliferation and inflammation.
-
Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2011, 2:48iPSCs generated after kidney transplantation
Disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been generated from kidney transplant recipients, providing opportunities to study patient-specific disease pathogenesis in vitro and demonstrating potential for autologous kidney replacement therapy.
-
Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2011, 2:46iPSCs from blood cells
Hematopoietic progenitor cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells could be ideal somatic cell sources for clinical-grade induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derivation, allowing minimally invasive tissue procurement and rapid cellular reprogramming.

Quotes
"Stem cells have enormous potential for alleviating suffering for many diseases which currently have no effective therapy. The field has progressed to the clinic and it is important that this pathway is underpinned by excellent science and rigorous standards of clinical research. The journal provides an important avenue of publication in translational aspects of stem cell therapy spanning preclinical studies, clinical research and commercialization."
Prof. Timothy O'Brien,
Editor-in-Chief
Stem Cell Research & Therapy
"The study of stem cells is one of the most exciting areas of contemporary biomedical research. We believe that Stem Cell Research & Therapy will act as a highly active forum for both basic and translational research into stem cell biology and therapies. Specifically, by developing this forum for cutting edge research, we hope that Stem Cell Research & Therapy will play a significant role in bringing together the critical information to synergize stem cell science with stem cell therapies."
