    Editors' Prelude to Microbiome Research Reports.
    (OAE Publishing, 2021-07-20) Ventura M; van Sinderen D; Turroni F; Milani C; Munoz J; Haller D; Ross RP; Collado MC; Allen-Vercoe E; Del Rio D; Altermann E; Katayama T; Zoetendal EG; Belzer C; Mena P; Im S-H; Gueimonde M; Margolles A; Ruiz L; Lacroix C; Stanton C; Barbara G; Saminen S; Scott KP; Barrangou R; Bottacini F; Marco ML
    It is our sincere pleasure to introduce a new scientific journal named Microbiome Research Reports (acronym MRR), born out of an ambitious initiative from the Editorial Board of this new journal. Our motivation to initiate a new journal on microbiome research was driven by the importance and impact of the microbiome for human and planetary health, with related research interest and effort driven by the scientific community on the subject. In fact, research findings on this subject represent a Copernican Revolution influencing all research branches of the Life Sciences. For example, vast efforts are currently invested in elucidating potential links between microbiome and disease, which could lead to the discovery of microbial biomarkers for novel therapeutic and preventative strategies. We feel that it is very timely to launch a new journal focusing on Microbiome studies in humans and other animals, i.e., both wild- and domesticated- animals, being convinced that it will be a platform for the dissemination of microbiome discoveries.

    Goals in Nutrition Science 2020-2025
    (Frontiers Media SA, 2020-02-09) Bassaganya-Riera J; Berry EM; Blaak EE; Burlingame B; le Coutre J; van Eden W; El-Sohemy A; German JB; Knorr D; Lacroix C; Muscaritoli M; Nieman DC; Rychlik M; Scholey A; Serafini M
    Five years ago, with the editorial board of Frontiers in Nutrition, we took a leap of faith to outline the Goals for Nutrition Science - the way we see it. Now, in 2020, we can put ourselves to the test and take a look back. Without a doubt we got it right with several of the key directions. To name a few, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Food and Nutrition are part of the global public agenda, and the SDGs contribute to the structuring of international science and research. Nutritional Science has become a critical element in strengthening work on the SDGs, and the development of appropriate methodologies is built on the groundwork of acquiring and analyzing big datasets. Investigation of the Human Microbiome is providing novel insight on the interrelationship between nutrition, the immune system and disease. Finally, with an advanced definition of the gut-brain-axis we are getting a glimpse into the potential for Nutrition and Brain Health. Various milestones have been achieved, and any look into the future will have to consider the lessons learned from Covid-19 and the sobering awareness about the frailty of our food systems in ensuring global food security. With a view into the coming 5 years from 2020 to 2025, the editorial board has taken a slightly different approach as compared to the previous Goals article. A mind map has been created to outline the key topics in nutrition science. Not surprisingly, when looking ahead, the majority of scientific investigation required will be in the areas of health and sustainability.
