Over the last decade, a remarkable number of papers have been published in which the biology of stem cells is introduced with words and phrases such as "promise," "rapid progress," and "future therapies." To separate myth and hype from reality, the articles in this Stem Cells Review series comprise a rich resource on the state of this fast-paced field and provide a balanced perspective on some of the major advances. They recount what the field has achieved over the past decade and where the field is headed. They also highlight the challenges to be faced in translating what is indeed highly promising science into proven therapies that will regenerate and repair diseased tissues.
在过去的十年中，发表了大量的论文，其中引入了“承诺”、“快速进展”和“未来疗法”等词语来介绍干细胞生物学。为了将神话和炒作与现实区分开来，本干细胞评论系列中的文章构成了一个关于这个快速发展领域的丰富资源，并提供了对一些主要进展的平衡观点。它们讲述了该领域在过去十年中所取得的成就，以及该领域的发展方向。它们还强调了将确实非常有前途的科学转化为能够再生和修复患病组织的经过验证的疗法所面临的挑战。
