Stem Cells and Development focuses on stem cells of all tissue types and their potential therapeutic applications. The Journal continues its tradition of providing a forum for animated discussion of contentious issues in conventional medicine.Stem Cells and Development covers: Controversial issues on stem cell research Stem cells of all tissues and organs Embryogenesis and adult counterparts of this process Physical processes linking stem cells, primary cell function, and structural development Transition from genes to physical effects: hypotheses and data Development of vasculature, CNS, and other germ layer development and defects Processes included in development: how the molecules work Pluripotentiality of adult stem cells The role of various mediators and how genetic factors affect development at a physical level Correspondence and concise, comprehensive reviews.

Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery is the single and comprehensive source of developments in the most rapidly advancing subspecialty within neurosurgery. Technological advances in computer-assisted surgery, robotics, imaging, and neurophysiology are being applied to clinical problems with ever-increasing rapidity in stereotaxis more than any other field, providing opportunities for new approaches to surgical and radiotherapeutic management of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, and spine. The journal publishes advances in the use of deep-brain stimulation, imaging-guided techniques in stereotactic biopsy and craniotomy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and stereotactically implanted and stereotactically guided radiotherapeutics and biologicals in the treatment of functional and movement disorders, brain tumors, and other diseases of the brain. Background information from basic science laboratories related to such clinical advances are also welcome as it provides the readers with an overall perspective of this field. Proceedings and abstracts from many of the key international meetings furnish an overview of this specialty available nowhere else. Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery meets the information needs of both investigators and clinicians in this rapidly advancing field.

Strabismus publishes articles on all areas of the field including esotropia, exotropia, hypertropia, and Duane's Syndrome. The quarterly publication also discusses related disorders including amblyopia, infant visual development, binocular vision, stereopsis, suppression, amblyopia-related disorders of refraction, visual stimulus deprivation, and anisometropia. It aims to bridge the gap between neuroscientists and ophthalmologists and orthoptists treating strabismus and amblyopia patients. Strabismus includes the following sections: editorials, original papers, research reports, reviews, symposium proceedings, letters to the editor and selected abstracts.

Strength and Conditioning Journal is the National Strength and Conditioning Association's professional journal for strength coaches, personal trainers, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and other health professionals working in the strength and conditioning field. The journal's mission is to publish articles that report both the practical applications of research findings and the knowledge gained by experienced professionals.Published six times per year, each issue includes peer-reviewed articles on a wide variety of timely strength and conditioning topics as well as regular features that provide thought-provoking accounts of people, programs and issues.Website: www.nsca-scj.org.

The journal Stress aims to provide scientists involved in basic stress research with the possibility of reading a more integrated view of the field. Peer reviewed papers, invited reviews and short communications will deal with interdisciplinary aspects of stress in terms of: the mechanisms of stressful stimulation, including within and between individuals; the physiological and behavioural responses to stress, and their regulation, in both the short and long term; adaptive mechanisms, coping strategies and the pathological consequences of stress.Stress will publish the latest developments in physiology, neurobiology, molecular biology, genetics research, immunology, and behavioural studies as they impact on the understanding of stress and its adverse consequences and their amelioration.Specific approaches may include transgenic animals, developmental/programming studies, electrophysiology, histochemistry, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, neuroanatomy, endocrinology, autonomic physiology, immunology, chronic pain, ethological and other behavioural studies and clinical measures.

Stroke provides reports of clinical and basic investigation of all aspects of the cerebral circulation and its diseases from many disciplines including neurology, internal medicine, radiology, nuclear medicine, neuropathology, neurosurgery, epidemiology, vascular surgery, rehabilitation, anesthesiology, critical care medicine, vascular physiology, neuropsychology, speech pathology, and neuro-ophthalmology. ISI recognizes Stroke as the #1 journal dedicated to the coverage of clinical research in cerebrovascular disease (2008 Journal Citation Reports174;, Thomson Reuters, 2009).CME AvailableOnline subscriptions are available to members of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association as a benefit of membership depending on membership level.
