Clinical and translational medicine is an ongoing opportunity and challenge to transition science from bench to patient, from patient to bench, and from patient to policy for scientists and clinicians. Of the many objectives, the most important one is to improve the quality of life in patients, including living duration, dignity, emotional well‐being, psychiatric and physical health, as well as independency. Emphasis and redefining concepts has allowed clinical and translational medicine to experience exciting and productive developments. Further discoveries, innovations, validations, and developments in clinical and translational medicine are expected in 2020. The present editorial aims to present the top three most discussed topics with high expectations for translation from clinical investigations and trials into practice and application.
