Novel Tools and Therapies for Ocular Regeneration

This special series is very timely since there has been a recent increase in the momentum of translational research in ocular regeneration. This increase stems partially from the success of ocular gene therapy. This special eye series includes review and original articles of novel tools and therapies being developed for ocular regeneration. The goal of this eye series is to provide some overview of the latest research being done in the area of ocular regeneration in order to highlight the broad potential in this field.

Challenges in Clinical Trials (Ongoing)

This special series on “Challenges in Clinical Trials” is edited by Dr. Weiping Wen, Dr. Yanhong Deng, Dr. Qian Shi and Dr. Jun (Vivien) Yin. As with any industry, the challenges facing those working in clinical trials are numerous: from patient recruitment, adoption of technology, regulatory requirements, and spiraling costs. This series aims to provide some insight and overviews on the challenges in conducting clinical trials, including Eastern and Western perspectives.

Carotid Artery Stenosis and Stroke-Prevention and Treatment Part II

Prevention and treatment of ischemic carotid-related strokes is a research priority. All controversial issues should be addressed to optimize patient outcomes. The current series are the second part of two series on the prevention and treatment of carotid artery stenosis and carotid-related strokes. Hopefully, these two series will help to answer many of the current questions and to resolve some of the controversial issues on the topic.

New Impact Factor for Annals of Translational Medicine: 3.932

We are pleased to announce that the Annals of Translational Medicine (ATM) has attained its latest impact factor update for the 2020 citation year: 3.932.

Clubfoot

This special series, thanks to the enthusiastic participation of many experts in the field, tries to give a comprehensive overview of the clubfoot pathology, and an objective analysis of the outcome of treatments. The members of leading medical- surgical teams dedicated to the care of children with clubfoot agreed to share their experience and their thoughts on the subject, making this series of articles a unique document summarizing the ‘state of the art’ of clubfoot treatment and its outcome in different part of the world.

Cancer Immunotherapy: Recent Advances and Challenges

In this focused series, we celebrate the success of T-cell targeted agents and provide a comprehensive overview of challenges with cancer immunotherapy. Discussed topics include immune-related adverse events and financial toxicities, safety concerns in patients with pre-existing immune dysfunction, current and emerging biomarkers of response along with a detailed discussion on the role of the gut microbiome in modulating response to ICI. Other reviewed topics include chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy and ICI in lymphoid malignancies, clinical studies exploring ways to turn immunologically inert “cold” sarcomas “hot’’ and intralesional agents in the treatment of malignant melanoma.

Hyperthermic Intraoperative Chemotherapy (HITHOC) in Thoracic Surgical Oncology

This series of ATM makes an important contribution to this subject as patients, surgeons, physicians, oncologists after reading the various articles published in the series will be hugely informed on HITHOC as an adjuvant treatment to cytoreductive surgery of primary and metastatic thoracic cancers such as mesothelioma, M1a-pleural effusion lung cancer, advanced thymomas and metastatic cancers.

Reviewer of the Month (2021)

In 2021, ATM reviewers continue to make outstanding contributions to the peer review process. The following reviewers are highlighted and commended for their professional effort and enthusiasm in reviews. Let us take this chance to express our heartfelt gratitude for their tremendous effort and valuable contributions to the journal and to the scientific process!

Rheumatologic Skin Disease

The content of the narrative reviews in this Series was designed to provide non-dermatologist readers with a better perspective on the value of clinical observation and translational research focused on the cutaneous manifestations of genetically-complex, environmentally-impacted and variably-expressed human illnesses such as the autoimmune connective tissue diseases.
