Defining translational medicine is complicated. Although there are many definitions, most agree that translational medicine is an important area of Medicine which is devoted to the effective application in the clinic of knowledge generated in the laboratory, that is, from the bench to the bed. However, as we know, when a therapeutic or diagnostic procedure is first applied to patients, this is just the beginning of the journey, as many unknowns remain at this juncture. Hence, translational medicine also seeks to return bed- to bench- to further research in the laboratory, given that new clinical findings emerging from early results in patients require corroboration or expansion in the laboratory.
What is the purpose of launching the Translational Medicine Reports journal?

Abstract
Defining translational medicine is complicated. Although there are many definitions, most agree that translational medicine is an important area of Medicine which is devoted to the effective application in the clinic of knowledge generated in the laboratory, that is, from the bench to the bed. However, as we know, when a therapeutic or diagnostic procedure is first applied to patients, this is just the beginning of the journey, as many unknowns remain at this juncture. Hence, translational medicine also seeks to return bed- to bench- to further research in the laboratory, given that new clinical findings emerging from early results in patients require corroboration or expansion in the laboratory.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
