Abstract
Organoids, which are tiny, lab-grown 3D structures that mimic some organizational and functional properties of human organs, are slowly transforming the face of systems and developmental biology, biomedical research, pharmaceutical testing, environmental toxin testing, and healthcare. Significant investments are essential for the mass production, preservation, and distribution of organoids, with the aim to accelerate innovation and progress across multiple fields-much like the investments made in cell and biologics manufacturing over the past 2 decades.
期刊介绍:
STEM CELLS Translational Medicine is a monthly, peer-reviewed, largely online, open access journal.
STEM CELLS Translational Medicine works to advance the utilization of cells for clinical therapy. By bridging stem cell molecular and biological research and helping speed translations of emerging lab discoveries into clinical trials, STEM CELLS Translational Medicine will help move applications of these critical investigations closer to accepted best patient practices and ultimately improve outcomes.
The journal encourages original research articles and concise reviews describing laboratory investigations of stem cells, including their characterization and manipulation, and the translation of their clinical aspects of from the bench to patient care. STEM CELLS Translational Medicine covers all aspects of translational cell studies, including bench research, first-in-human case studies, and relevant clinical trials.
