A host of congress highlights can be found within this journal, alongside a selection of abstract reviews, written by their respective authors following their presentation at the congress.

This edition’s interviews span three continents, with experts from Egypt, Germany, and the USA sharing their expertise. These venerable Editorial Board members discuss an array of topics, ranging from what inspired them to enter the field to where they hope progress will be made in the future.

Additionally, this eJournal contains a collection of high-quality peer-reviewed articles, with a wide variety of focusses.
