STM publisher Springer Science+Business Media, Germany, has launched www.stemcellgateway.net, a one-stop destination resource designed to strengthen the stem cell community and foster the exchange of information among researchers in this field. The website offers published, peer-reviewed content from Springer's stem cell programme, including both the journal Stem Cell Reviews and Reports (SCRR), as well as the book series Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine.
StemCellGateway focuses specifically on stem cell content for the research community, including seasoned researchers and students. Visitors to the website can obtain news; gain access to research and educational tools designed to assist in exploring stem cell research possibilities; as well as personalise their accounts to receive the most relevant content. The site offers abstracts and selected articles from the information platform www.SpringerLink.com, where subscribers can access additional full-text articles. StemCellGateway also features stem cell-specific links to SpringerProtocols, which allow scientists to recreate experiments in their own laboratory.
In addition, StemCellGateway also provides a conference calendar that lists stem cell conferences, meetings, and seminars with link outs where possible. The news section focuses on aspects of stem cells from the scientific, ethical or political perspective. These newsfeeds come from competent sites such as Cell Therapy News, Biology News Net, and Medical News Today.
