Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of hematopoietic stem cell transplant has always been progressing rapidly with innovative therapeutic approaches. Since the seminal works by Dr. E. Donnall Thomas, the field has transformed medicine by offering cures for diseases that were previously thought to be incurable. This feat has been achieved by breakthroughs in conditioning regimens, alternative donor sources, peri-transplant supportive cares and graft-versus-host disease management. The most notable recent breakthrough is of hematopoietic stem cell-based gene therapies for monogenetic diseases, providing treatment for not only hematological but also metabolic as well as neurological conditions. This Special Issue of Journal of Clinical Medicine titled, “Research Trends and Applications of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation”, aims to provide its broad readership the most current updates on innovations in HSCT including alternative donor stem cell transplant for both malignant and non-malignant disorders, novel conditioning approaches that reduce transplant-related toxicities, management of graft-versus-host diseases and gene therapies for various monogenetic diseases including both gene-editing and gene-insertion strategies. With an emphasis on clinical applications, we would like to solicit your original translational and clinical studies as well as systemic reviews in any of the aforementioned areas of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
