Summary: The emergence of COVID-19 has accelerated the development of new vaccine strategies and provided opportunities for reevaluating vaccines for other pathogens, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. While current pneumococcal vaccines are based on polysaccharides, there is potential in utilizing proteins expressed across all serotypes for more affordable and broadly-protective vaccines.

Summary: The impact of large-scale natural disasters on voter support for the Green Party is limited, with flooding having only a marginal effect on residents in affected areas and not changing their prioritization of climate change. Despite an increase in voter turnout in affected areas, the increase in Green Party vote share is mainly driven by persuading voters who previously supported other parties.

Summary: The animal-centric approach of chemical safety assessment is under pressure, and there is a growing demand for a paradigm shift due to concerns about overall performance, sustainability, relevance for human health risk assessment, and ethics. New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), including various methods such as QSAR predictions, HTS bioassays, omics applications, cell cultures, organoids, MPS, machine learning models, and AI, have the potential to revolutionize regulatory risk assessment by providing more human-relevant decision-making. However, challenges such as addressing chronic toxicity, stakeholder hesitance, predictivity, reproducibility, and adapting regulatory frameworks need to be overcome for the broader application of NAMs. This conceptual perspective is based on the findings and conclusions of a symposium and workshop held in Berlin in November 2021 and aims to shed light on the gradual integration of NAMs into chemical risk assessment for the protection of human health, leading to an animal-free Next Generation Risk Assessment (NGRA).

Summary: Early intervention researchers in the intersection of public health, pediatrics, and early intervention engage in translational research and implementation science to bridge the gap between research and practice. However, there is still a significant research-to-practice gap in early intervention. This commentary proposes an alignment of translational research phases for early intervention to promote transdisciplinary collaborations and positive outcomes for young children and families.
