Abstract

In recent years, the promise of stem cells as tools for basic research, in vitro diagnostics, and in vivo therapeutics is increasingly being realized. This Special issue of Biotechnology Journal explores recent advances in the emerging field of stem cell engineering, with a focus on applying engineering approaches to understanding stem cell biology and enabling translation of stem cells to commercial and clinical products.
