There is an increasing focus on understanding how aging affects stem cell function, with implications for developing therapies aimed at rejuvenating aged stem cells for improved regenerative capacity.
Declining or Waning
- Embryonic Stem Cell Research:
There has been a noticeable decrease in publications specifically dedicated to embryonic stem cells, possibly due to the increasing focus on iPSCs and ethical concerns surrounding the use of embryonic cells. - Basic Stem Cell Biology without Clinical Relevance:
Research papers that delve into fundamental aspects of stem cell biology without direct clinical implications have become less frequent, as the journal shifts towards more translational research. - In Vitro Studies without Functional Validation:
The journal appears to be moving away from studies that do not include in vivo validation of in vitro findings, emphasizing the importance of functional outcomes in the context of therapeutic applications.
