(For anyone wondering, expansion of the term in the journal title: "Translational medicine (often called translational science, of which it is a form) develops the clinical practice applications of the basic science aspects of the biomedical sciences; that is, it translates basic science to applied science in medical practice.")
I believe you that it's legit, but it seems pretty far by IF from Nature (IF 8 according to wikipedia, vs 65 for Nature, lower than eg Medical Journal of Australia or Mayo Clinic Proceedings).

From a quick layman glance, the publishing journal, Science Translational Medicine, does not have a very high impact factor but isn't bottom barrel either. (https://journalsearches.com/journal.php?title=Science%20Tran...

I don't know why you jumped to un, but the first three letters are unc, and the site has a University of North Carolina Chapel Hill banner.
I wonder what percentage of people would have greater trust in something coming from UNC than UN anyway. I bet even plenty of Duke alumni would.
Science Translational Medicine is a very reputable journal. Science is up there with Nature, and STM specifically is the home of Derek Lowe's blog.

I guess "translational" refers to the relation between genes and proteins.
