The purpose of this editorial is to highlight recent developments in molecular biology tools and techniques in stem cell research and their applications to human diseases. Recent advancements in stem cell research and regenerative medicine are offering immense hope to cure human diseases and injuries, such as cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injuries. In the last three decades, especially in the last decade, major breakthroughs have been seen in the conversion of adult stem cells into induced pluripotent stem cells, which in turn has led the way to developing stem cell therapies for human diseases. This article summarizes contributions of research into stem cell therapies.

干细胞研究的现状：社论。

这篇社论的目的是强调干细胞研究及其在人类疾病中应用的分子生物学工具和技术的最新发展。干细胞研究和再生医学的最新进展为治愈人类疾病和损伤提供了巨大希望，例如癌症，糖尿病，阿尔茨海默氏病，帕金森氏病和脑外伤。在过去的三十年中，特别是在过去的十年中，在将成人干细胞转化为诱导性多能干细胞方面看到了重大突破，这反过来又为开发用于人类疾病的干细胞疗法提供了途径。本文总结了干细胞疗法研究的贡献。
