摘要
<正>2010 has seen rapid progress in stem cell research in China.Not only the major funding agencies had provided extensive funding to stem cell research,the publications by Chinese stem cell biologists also flourished in top-notch scientific journals.In this special review,we highlighted some recent studies that had been published in Science China Life Sciences and Cell Research,two key SCI journals based in China.Not surprisingly,these studies mainly focused on some of the highly pursued stem cell types: embryonic stem cells(ES cells),induced pluripotent stem cells(iPSCs),neural stem cells(NSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs).
