Call for Papers [Special Topic]
Stem Cells The special topic calls for papers on Stem Cells and such papers will appear in the journal Advances in Natural Science as a special column. Description Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. The advances in our knowledge and understanding of stem cells have fundamentally changed the way we see human biology and physiology, not to mention disease. It has become clear in recent years that not only are the our bodies more plastic than previously thought, but the number and type of stem cells that play a role in the generation and regeneration of human tissue far exceed original expectations. In this special topic, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research or review articles on stem cells.
Requirements In addition to the Review and Original Articles by invited speakers, w e are inviting you to submit a relevant research paper on Stem Cells for consideration. Papers will be subject to normal peer review and must comply with the Guide for Authors. To submit papers to the “Stem Cells” Special Topic, please go to http://www.csc anada.net. With your submission, please state clearly to the editor that your manuscripts are submitted to the Special Topic Stem Cells.
