Amsterdam, NL – The first StemJournal newsletter of 2022 features an extract from the new review article on the topic of transdifferentiation now published in Volume 4, a reminder to submit your conference abstract to StemMeets, news relating to members of our board, and a call for submissions!

As StemJournal (STJ) is still a new journal, we are actively seeking submissions to be considered for publication. Work is going on in the background, with the help of the Editorial Board, to get the word out there to researchers and encourage them to submit papers and protocols for consideration. We are also continually developing aspects of the journal and components of its parent StemHub, and we will inform you of the latest news via our newsletter.

Co-Editor-in-Chief Chad A. Cowan wishes to encourage researchers to submit to the journal: "I am confident that StemJournal will attract and publish the latest breaking advances in our field. Importantly, with its broad focus the journal also seeks to provide a forum for studies that use stem cells to develop novel therapies and perhaps even cures for people suffering from devastating diseases.” He comments, “Together with the growing StemHub, our vision is to build a community for all stem cell researchers to share ideas and advance the field to developing the cures of tomorrow."
