Stem Cell Reports Welcomes Five New Early Career Editors
Stem Cell Reports, the official journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), today announces the appointment of five new Early Career Editors to its editorial team. Representing institutions across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, the new editors bring broad expertise spanning developmental biology, neuroscience, genetics, cancer biology, cardiovascular biology, stem cell-based disease modeling, and emerging applications of stem cell engineering in cellular agriculture.
The newly appointed Early Career Editors are:
Alessandro Bertero, University of Turin, Italy
Conchi Estaras, Temple University, USA
Lachlan Harris, QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Australia
Caroline Pearson, Weill Cornell Medicine, USA
Shifeng Xue, National University of Singapore
The ISSCR Celebrates Martin Pera for Transformative Leadership and Lasting Contributions to Stem Cell Reports as he Steps Down from the Journal’s Editorial Team
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) and Stem Cell Reports are celebrating the remarkable contributions of Martin Pera as he concludes his long tenure with the journal following years of leadership that helped shape Stem Cell Reports into a leading voice in stem cell science and regenerative medicine.
Stem Cells at the Root of Tooth Aging
With age, teeth get increasingly brittle and susceptible to damage from tooth decay, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. Teeth have an intrinsic capability to regenerate, a process which is driven by dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) which replenish the dental pulp including the dentin-producing cells called odontoblasts. DPSCs stops working in aging teeth, divide less, and generate less odontoblasts, a process which is called senescence or the biological process of aging through gradual deterioration. DPSC senescence is thought to be a cause for the declining tooth health with age.
ISSCR Consortium Urges FDA to Maintain Flexible, Science-Driven Framework for New Approach Methodologies in Drug Development
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) Consortium on Advanced Stem Cell-Based Models in Drug Discovery and Development has submitted comments to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in response to the agency’s draft guidance, General Considerations for the Use of New Approach Methodologies in Drug Development Guidance for Industry.
The consortium, a global collaboration of academic scientists, industry leaders, and regulatory experts convened by the ISSCR, welcomed the FDA’s efforts to advance the integration of new approach methodologies (NAMs) into drug development while emphasizing the importance of maintaining a flexible, fit-for-purpose regulatory framework that can adapt to rapidly evolving technologies.
The World’s Most Groundbreaking Stem Cell Advances Are Coming to San Francisco for ISSCR 2027
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) today announced that the ISSCR 2027 Annual Meeting is coming back to San Francisco, USA, 15-18 June 2027. Recognized as the premier international forum for stem cell science, the gathering will recognize 25 years of discovery, collaboration, and progress in stem cell science and gather the people, ideas, and work that will shape the next quarter century.
