Bone Marrow Transplantation publishes high quality, peer reviewed original research that addresses all aspects of basic biology and clinical use of haemopoietic stem cell transplantation.The broad scope of the journal thus encompasses topics such as stem cell biology, e.g., kinetics and cytokine control, transplantation immunology e.g., HLA and matching techniques, translational research, and clinical results of specific transplant protocols. Bone Marrow Transplantation publishes 12 issues a year.

Cell Transplantation publishes original, peer-reviewed research and review articles on the subject of cell transplantation and its application to human diseases. To ensure high-quality contributions from all areas of transplantation, separate section editors and editorial boards have been established. Articles deal with a wide range of topics including physiological, medical, preclinical, tissue engineering, and device-oriented aspects of transplantation of nervous system, endocrine, growth factor-secreting, bone marrow, epithelial, endothelial, and genetically engineered cells, among others. Basic clinical studies and immunological research papers are also featured. To provide complete coverage of this revolutionary field, Cell Transplantation will report on relevant technological advances, and ethical and regulatory considerations of cell transplants. Cell Transplantation is now an Open Access journal starting with volume 18 in 2009, and therefore there will be an inexpensive publication charge, which is dependent on the number of pages, in addition to the charge for color figures. This will allow work to be disseminated to a wider audience and also entitle the corresponding author to a free PDF, as well as prepublication of an unedited version of the manuscript.

Cell and Tissue Banking provides a forum for disseminating information to scientists and clinicians involved in the banking and transplantation of cells and tissues. Cell and Tissue Banking is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes original papers in such areas as quality assurance and control of banked cells and tissues; preservation and sterilization methods; clinical applications of banked cells and tissues; standards of practice in procurement, processing, storage and distribution; and ethical and medico-legal issues. Research is presented in the form of full-length papers describing original work; short communications for rapid publication; and mini- and full-length reviews of topical issues.

CJASN aims to cement the journal as the leading voice in communicating and influencing advances in clinical nephrology by (1) rapidly and effectively communicating the most important advances in clinical and translational research in nephrology, including innovations in research methods and care delivery; (2) putting these advances in context for future research directions and patient care; and (3) becoming an important voice on every issue that potentially affects the clinical practice of nephrology, particularly in the United States. Original manuscript topic areas include: Acid/Base and Electrolyte Disorders; Acute Kidney Injury and ICU Nephrology; Chronic Kidney Disease; Clinical Nephrology; Cystic Kidney Disease; Diabetes and the Kidney; Genetics; Geriatric and Palliative Nephrology; Glomerular and Tubulointerstitial Diseases; Hypertension; Maintenance Dialysis; Mineral Metabolism; Nephrolithiasis; and Transplantation.

Clinical Transplantation is primarily designed as a channel of communication for all those involved in the care of people who require or have had organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored. Interest is focused not only on the complete spectrum of present transplant operations, but also those that are experimental or may become possible in future.

Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation Online provides a powerful, broad-based perspective on the most important advances in the field from throughout the world literature. Reader-friendly, the journal features renowned guest editors focusing exclusively on two topics each issue. Bimonthly, every issue of Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation delivers unvarnished, expert assessments of developments from the previous year. All reviews are supplemented with a fully annotated bibliography section, 'References and Recommended Reading', where, as an added benefit, appropriate papers are flagged for their 'special' or 'outstanding interest'. There is no more convenient—or highly focused!—guide to pursuing additional research on specific items of interest.Website: www.co-transplantation.com.
