| Stem Cells and Regeneration: Special Review Issue |
|---|
When the editorial board of Human Molecular Genetics was queried to consider potential topic areas for the annual special review, one topic that was enthusiastically endorsed was stem cells and regenerative medicine. The fusion of these two topics reflected the hope and potential that advances in regenerative medicine may be the primary outcome of much of the current basic and translational research in the field of stem cell researches.
The goal in soliciting input for this special issue was to capture the current thinking, and identify priorities, in stem cell biology as it relates specifically to human molecular genetics. The order of the articles in this issue
