ISSCR and Cell Press renew publishing agreement for Stem Cell Reports
The Partnership strengthens the journal’s mission to advance stem cell research and regenerative medicine
2023-11-06
(Press-News.org) The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) and publisher Cell Press are extending their partnership to publish the ISSCR’s open access, peer-reviewed journal, Stem Cell Reports. For more than a decade, Stem Cell Reports has served as an important point of convergence for the stem cell research and regenerative medicine field.
“We are delighted to continue working with Cell Press to provide an outlet for our members and the community to publish impactful and high-quality science,” said Amander T. Clark, ISSCR President. “Our collective efforts to enhance author experience and create exceptional opportunities for our community to share research and commentaries have been instrumental in advancing scientific discovery.”
“Cell Press is thrilled to renew its partnership with the ISSCR and Stem Cell Reports, enabling us to accelerate collaboration between our research communities,” says Hélène Hodak, Executive Publisher, Cell Press Societies. “We support our partner journal in its vision to encourage more transparency, rigor, and innovative approaches that will advance the stem cell field.”
The journal’s impact has grown profoundly over recent years, providing greater visibility and opportunity for authors. Several recent innovations at the journal are designed to help authors expedite publication. Stem Cell Reports can now accept direct transfer of manuscripts from other Cell Press titles. The journal is also now part of Cell Press Multi-Journal Submission, a mechanism that allows authors to submit their manuscript for simultaneous consideration by multiple Cell Press titles of their choosing. Further, authors whose manuscript is reviewed and declined at another journal can submit the manuscript to Stem Cell Reports with the review comments for expedited peer review. Finally, the journal supports authors who wish to report novel findings—that may not yet be fully developed into an in-depth story—in the journal’s Reports format. These enhancements developed in partnership with Cell Press further solidify Stem Cell Reports as a leading publication for the field.
Author fees from Stem Cell Reports support groundbreaking ISSCR initiatives that benefit the field, most recently the Standards for Human Stem Cell Use in Research, released in early June. Additional initiatives include the Guidelines for Stem Cell Research and Clinical Translation, global public policy activities, and the development clinical and public education resources.
About Stem Cell Reports
Stem Cell Reports is the open access journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) communicating basic discoveries in stem cell research, in addition to translational and clinical studies. Launched in 2013, Stem Cell Reports focuses on original research with conceptual or practical advances that are of broad interest to stem cell biologists and clinicians.
About the International Society for Stem Cell Research
With 4,700+ members from more than 70 countries, the International Society for Stem Cell Research is the preeminent global, cross-disciplinary, science-based organization dedicated to stem cell research and its translation to the clinic. The ISSCR mission is to promote excellence in stem cell science and applications to human health.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a land change model that simulates interactions between urban growth, increased flooding and how humans adapt in response. The new model could offer a more realistic assessment of risk for urban planners, natural resource managers and other local government stakeholders.
“Traditional risk assessment typically involves overlaying inundation layers – areas that may flood – onto existing development or population distribution to identify areas and communities at risk,” says Georgina Sanchez, ...

EVANSTON, Ill., --- New research shows large reductions in gun violence involvement for participants of a Chicago-based community violence intervention (CVI) program.
Researchers from Northwestern University evaluated outcomes for the Chicago CRED (Create Real Economic Destiny) program and found that those who completed the full program were more than 73% less likely to have an arrest for a violent crime in the two years following enrollment compared to individuals who did not participate.
Analyzing program participation, the researchers ...

A groundbreaking study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences underscores the pivotal role that seasonal Antarctic sea ice plays in the annual molting periods of Adélie penguins. Despite the relatively large amount of sea ice still available in the Ross Sea, researchers have discovered a potential bottleneck in the penguins’ annual cycle, which could be exacerbated as the climate continues to change.
Unlike most penguin species, the majority of Adélie penguins are thought to carry out their annual molt ...

PITTSBURGH—Researchers in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, in collaboration with paleontologists from Spain and Poland, used fossil evidence to engineer a soft robotic replica of pleurocystitid, a marine organism that existed nearly 450 million years ago and is believed to be one of the first echinoderms capable of movement using a muscular stem.
Published today in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS), the research seeks to broaden modern perspective of animal design and movement by introducing a new a field of study - Paleobionics - aimed at using Softbotics, robotics ...

City lights shine all night amid the bustling traffic, businesses and neighborhoods of Southern California, one of the most populated areas that mountain lions call home.
A study from the University of California, Davis, found that mountain lions avoid places with artificial light, even during the day. The finding adds to the list of challenges faced by the big cats in the region, where scientists have warned they may face extinction within decades.
The new study, published in the journal Philosophical ...

A new mathematical model predicts that mammalian sperm cells have two distinct swimming modes. This prediction opens new questions about potential connections between sperm cells’ motor activity and their transitions to hyperactivation phases that may play an important role in fertilization. The finding is part of a larger effort to use math and fluid dynamics to describe how mammalian sperm move. The research is led by a team of engineers at the University of California San Diego. The new work is published in the journal Physical ...
