The mission of Chimerism is to disseminate high quality scientific work that provides novel insights into the spectrum of chimerism in human health and disease. The journal is highly interdisciplinary providing a forum of exchange for studies of naturally acquired chimerism as well as iatrogenic chimerism, the latter in transplantation and transfusion.
Chimerism is of special interest to physicians, scientists, and other investigators in transplantation, transfusion, maternal-fetal medicine, autoimmune diseases, genetics, cancer and infectious diseases.
It’s time for Chimerism!
There are a number of reasons why this is an ideal time to launch the new journal Chimerism.
- Advances in molecular biological techniques in recent years have resulted in tools to measure and characterize chimerism that were previously unavailable.
- A forum for interdisciplinary exchange is needed as investigators stand to profit by knowledge and technical advances from colleagues in other research areas.
- Shared insights can be garnered from studies of iatrogenic chimerism in transplantation and transfusion and studies of naturally acquired chimerism that occurs due to long-term persistence of cells exchanged during pregnancy.
- It is also timely to launch the new journal Chimerism because there is a need to establish standard techniques and measures of chimerism that are shared across disciplines and internationally.
