A year of stem cell and developmental biology
In recent years, the field of stem cell and developmental biology has seen remarkable breakthroughs that have deepened our understanding of how organisms grow, age and regenerate, with major implications for medicine and biotechnology.
In this collection, we highlight papers published in the field this past year across Nature Portfolio journals and BMC Biology – from steps towards the use of stem cells in the clinic, to efforts to map and model development and disease, as well as studies expanding our understanding of aging, regeneration, and stem cell states.
