The goal of this journal is to publish cutting-edge reviews on subjects pertinent to all aspects of stem cell research, therapy, ethics, commercialization, and policy. We aim to provide incisive, insightful, and balanced contributions from leading experts in each relevant domain that will be of immediate interest to a wide readership of clinicians, basic scientists, and translational investigators. We accomplish this aim by appointing major authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the discipline. Section Editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year on their topics, in a crisp and readable format. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.

The journal publishes original, peer-reviewed articles on new and significant advances in all aspects of cell and chromosome research. Timely and substantial articles in the areas of cell biology, genetic toxicology, chromosome evolution, cytogenetics; molecular-, population- and evolutionary genetics; epigenetics; developmental and stress biology; transcriptomics, structural and functional genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, integrated omics and use of tools of bioinformatics in the areas stated herein. Studies demonstrating the use of modern approaches such as genome editing to address technological problems and/or biological questions pertaining to the research areas mentioned above are encouraged. However, the studies should be conducted with appropriate scientific rigor in the design, conduct, validity, and interpretation of results to ensure reliability and reproducibility of the data presented. The papers must be written concisely and be of interest to a broad audience. The journal also publishes comprehensive reviews on current developments and future trends in cell and chromosome research. Such articles should be authoritative, covering all the aspects of a chosen topic, and serve as a resource for students, researchers, and multidisciplinary audience. Authors are welcome to contact the Editor-in-Chief to discuss their topic of interest while preparing a prospective review article. Thematic special issues on cutting edge research in the development of the above stated areas are periodically published by the journal. Articles for such issues are commissioned by the respective topic editor/s.
