Abstract
Conversion of one cell type to another by reprogramming offers valuable opportunities for disease modeling and regenerative medicine. In a much-anticipated scenario, tissues generated from reprogrammed cells will be used to replace degenerated or lost tissues in patients suffering from injury or diseases such as Alzheimer’s, which causes loss of functional nerve cells (neurons) in the brain.
期刊介绍:
The Stem Cell Investigation (SCI; Stem Cell Investig; Online ISSN: 2313-0792) is a free access, peer-reviewed online journal covering basic, translational, and clinical research on all aspects of stem cells. It publishes original research articles and reviews on embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, adult tissue-specific stem/progenitor cells, cancer stem like cells, stem cell niche, stem cell technology, stem cell based drug discovery, and regenerative medicine. Stem Cell Investigation is indexed in PubMed/PMC since April, 2016.
