Reports launched June 4, 2013, and in celebration of the journal’s fifth birthday, we asked authors to update us on some of the journal’s classic papers. The studies below reflect just a handful of stories about how stem cell research is rapidly advancing—and how it is already helping patients. You’ll find case studies in collaboration and creative thinking, common traits of Stem Cell Reports authors and members of the International Society for Stem Cell Research. We hope they leave you feeling inspired. Regrowing … Continue reading “HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY TO STEM CELL REPORTS! AUTHORS REFLECT ON 5 CLASSIC PAPERS”
