This issue focus on Stem Cells. What they are, what they are for, bioethical problems associated with them and promissing altenatives that may solve them. Several Portuguese scientists have been invited to write five review articles about this theme. The articles Bragança et al. and Correia & Bragança introduce the concept of stem cells. The remaining articles are more specialized, one on neural stem cells (Malva & Bernardino) and two others (Serra et al. e Neves & Ferreira) that discuss novel ways of producing stem cells in the lab. The first three are in Portuguese, but the last two are written in English.
