Featured Research: The gut microbiota modifies antibody durability and booster responses after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines are pivotal in combating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); however, the declining antibody titers postvaccination pose challenges for sustained protection and herd immunity. Although gut microbiome is reported to affect the early antibody response after vaccination, its impact on the longevity of vaccine-induced antibodies remains unexplored. The findings of this study underscored the potential interaction between the gut microbiome and the longevity/boosting effect of antibodies following vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. The identification of specific microbial associations suggests the prospect of microbiome-based strategies for enhancing vaccine efficacy.
Featured Review: Targeting TNFR2 for cancer immunotherapy: recent advances and future directions
Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths every year. Immune checkpoint blockade approaches have changed the therapeutic landscape for many tumor types. However, current immune checkpoint inhibitors PD-1 or CTLA-4 are far from satisfactory, due to high immune-related adverse event incident (up to 60%) and the inefficiency in cases of “cold” tumor microenvironment. TNFR2, a novel hopeful tumor immune target, was initially proposed in 2017. In preclinical studies, TNFR2 antibody therapy has demonstrated efficacy alone or a potential synergistic effect when combined with classical PD-1/ CTLA-4 antibodies. The focus of this review is on the characteristics, functions, and recent advancements in TNFR2 therapy, providing a new direction for the next generation of anti-tumor alternative therapy.
Introducing new sections to Journal of Translational Medicine!
Regenerative Medicine
Led by Section Editor Francisco Silva, the Regenerative Medicine section aims to bring together experts across research disciplines (such as biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, genetics, medicine, and robotics) in order to find new solutions towards therapies. The clinically disruptive field of regenerative medicine encompasses various strategies including the use of materials and biologics to take the place or remodel compromised tissues both structurally and functionally in order to facilitate tissue healing.
The section welcomes research focused on advancing the various technologies that encompass regenerative medicine to aid in the development and translation of novel therapies for those suffering from unmet medical needs.
Molecular Pathology
Led by Section Editor Sarah Warren, the Molecular Pathology section aims to highlight studies that characterize human-derived biological materials, including both tissue and liquid biopsies, using molecular profiling techniques to elucidate the underlying causes of disease and impacts of therapeutic interventions.
The Molecular Pathology section will consider studies that are preclinical or translational in nature, as well as from all stages of fundamental and applied research. The section welcomes manuscripts that describe new technology platforms that advance molecular profiling or novel computational approaches to support data analysis.
Journal of Translational Medicine has launched In Review, a new option that provides authors with on-demand information on the status of their manuscript, enables them to share their work with funders and their research community, and allows their colleagues to comment and collaborate - all whilst their manuscript is under review.

Featured section: Neuroscience
The Neuroscience section aims to encourage publications that help to reduce the gap between basic preclinical science and medical applications for the patients in the neuroscience field. Any new tool for the dissemination of results in the field can greatly help to progress in the new solutions for the neuropsychiatric patient. The section aims to promote the increase of knowledge on the subject by publishing original research.
Editor-in-Chief: Francesco Marincola, Sonata Therapeutics, USA
Franco Marincola is the Chief Scientific Officer of Sonata Therapeutics. Franco brings over 30 years of research and development experience in immunology, oncology and cell therapy to Sonata.
Most recently, Franco served as Senior Vice President and Global Head of Research at Kite Pharma where he led the research organization to identify novel therapies for hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Prior to Kite, he was President and Chief Scientific Officer at Refuge Biotechnologies, where he developed research strategies for adoptive cell therapy products and led therapeutic programs based on nuclease deactivated CRISPR circuits. Prior to Refuge, Franco was Distinguished Research Fellow in Immune Oncology at AbbVie, and Chief Research Officer at Sidra Medical and Research Centre.
Before joining the biopharma industry, Franco spent more than two decades at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Cancer Institute (NCI), most recently as a tenured senior investigator in cancer immunotherapy and biomarker research and as Chief Infectious Disease and Immunogenetics Investigator at the NIH Clinical Center.
Franco is the former President of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC). He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief for multiple peer-reviewed publications, including Journal of Translational Medicine, Translational Medicine Communications, and Immunotherapy, and is the author of more than 600 peer-reviewed publications.
Franco received his M.D. from the University of Milan and completed his residency at Stanford University.
Aims and scope
Journal of Translational Medicine is an open access journal publishing articles focusing on information derived from human experimentation so as to optimise the communication between basic and clinical science.
The journal covers all areas of translational medicine but also has several special sections:
