title: WITHDRAWN: A new Basic Research Section in Fertility and Sterility.
abstract: One of the most important issues for reproductive medicine is to bring basic science advancements to the bedside to improve the care of our patients. To promote translational research-not only from bench to bedside but also from bedside to bench-the Editor at Fertility and Sterility has begun a new section focused on basic science in reproduction. The aim of this new section will be to highlight advances in basic science, particularly as they relate to the practice of reproductive medicine. This new section will feature timely articles on basic science relevant to reproduction. It is hoped that this new section will stimulate translational research and encourage the exchange of ideas between basic scientists and other readers of Fertility and Sterility.
