Most of the papers we publish are translational, and our News and News & Views sections also emphasize research of this kind. This month, together with some design changes in both sections, we introduce two columns that may appeal to those of you interested in translational research.

In the Community Corner, we take a recent paper and poll three experts who share their views on the study and discuss the direction in which it moves the field. In the Bench↔Bedside section, we select a field and ask one researcher to identify and discuss a preclinical paper that has translational implications and then ask a second researcher to do the same with a clinical paper that opens questions that need to be answered back in the lab.

In addition, we will continuously publish reviews and perspectives with a translational slant, which you will be able to identify by the tinted strip at the top of the page. We hope that you enjoy these columns and look forward to receiving your feedback.
