The last few years have seen an increase in the number of research studies involving stem cells due to the favorable outcome of clinical trials. Parents facing limited treatment options for serious pediatric conditions are increasingly willing to invest in advanced therapies that might offer lasting solutions. Stem cells possess a unique regenerative potential which offers hope for many pediatric diseases. Despite this, however, the use of stem cell therapy in children has its own set of challenges such as ethical issues, safety concerns, and the need for age-specific approaches. This Collection invites contributions on the recent advances, challenges and future perspectives and trends in the application of stem cell therapy in pediatric population.
As such, this Collection seeks to focus on both the state of the art and the potential for further development in the area of stem cell therapy for children in the near future. We encourage submissions for original research, review articles, clinic-based research, and viewpoints that focus on the innovations, challenges, and ethical and regulatory aspects related to the use of stem cell therapy in children.
