Declining or Waning
- Basic Mechanistic Studies:
There seems to be a waning interest in purely basic mechanistic studies without translational implications, as the journal increasingly emphasizes studies with direct clinical relevance. - Older Imaging Techniques:
Traditional imaging methods, particularly those that do not incorporate advanced technologies (like machine learning applications), are appearing less frequently, as newer methodologies gain traction. - Focus on Animal Models:
Research primarily centered on animal models without substantial human relevance is declining, with a shift towards studies that bridge preclinical findings to clinical applications.
