Declining or Waning
- Basic Science of Stem Cells:
While foundational research on stem cell biology remains important, there has been a noticeable decline in publications focused solely on basic science without direct clinical implications, as the field moves towards more applied research. - Non-Mesenchymal Stem Cell Applications:
Research centered on non-mesenchymal stem cells, such as hematopoietic stem cells or embryonic stem cells, has decreased, possibly due to the increased focus on mesenchymal stem cells and their therapeutic versatility. - In-vitro Studies Without Clinical Relevance:
There has been a reduction in the publication of purely in-vitro studies that do not translate into clinical applications, as the journal emphasizes studies that demonstrate clear potential for therapeutic use. - Single-source Stem Cell Studies:
Research focusing on single-source stem cells (e.g., only one type of stem cell) is less common, reflecting a shift towards comparative studies that assess multiple stem cell types and sources for broader therapeutic implications.
