Stem Cell Reviews and Reports (SCRR) covers contemporary and emerging areas in stem cells by publication of reviews, original data reports (full reports and short reports), protocols, novel hypotheses and commentaries. The scope related to stem cells is broad and includes topics in stem cell biology covering basic, clinical, biotechnology, regulatory, and ethical aspects of embryonic and adult stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, fate choice, specific lineage and cloning issues, translational studies, and diseases where stem cell anomalies play a key role and related matters. Original articles are expected to provide novel insights based on new data. Reviews, commentaries and hypotheses should provide syntheses of current concepts in the field and discuss emerging issues and controversies; the nature of the topic or idea being discussed will dictate appropriate choice of article type. Protocols will help accelerate studies in the field, by providing practical and step by step descriptions of established or emerging protocols and techniques of utility for both established and novice investigator.

One of the most significant developments in cell and developmental biology in recent years has been the incredible interest in the potential of stem cells in regenerative medicine. In spite of the ongoing political, ethical and scientific challenges, interest in the potential clinical utility of stem continues to increase. Given this, a book series that provides volumes that are didactic, or methods driven and that provide comprehensive and authoritative information is needed. The books included are from Springer's book series, Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, in addition to other books covering stem cell content.

Pulled from Springer Protocols, the largest subscription-based electronic database of reproducible laboratory protocols in the Life and Biomedical Sciences, StemCellGateway.net offers access to a collection of time tested, easily reproducible, step-by-step protocols for immediate use in their lab. Written by renowned experts in the field with an emphasis on both comprehensiveness and ease of use, each protocol is organized in an easily reproducible recipe style offering helpful tricks of the trade in an invaluable "notes" section, these Springer Protocols are an invaluable resource for the modern research laboratory.
