Mechanistic insights into human host and microbiome interactions

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 - Good health and wellbeing

 

 

Microbiomes, consisting of bacteria, archaea, viruses, or unicellular eukaryotes, and their metabolites, interact with the human body in many ways. While many metabolic capacities of human-associated microbes are already known through multiomics studies, the molecular and biochemical mechanisms of host-microbe interactions are often not well understood. Here we invite authors to submit their latest studies, perspectives or reviews on mechanistic insights how microbes interact with the human host via molecules, pathways or cellular connections.

This Collection is open for submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and the participating journals more generally.

All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of the specific participating journal through which they are submitted. Visit Nature portfolio’s Collections guidelines for more details.

When submitting your manuscript to a participating journal via our online submission system, please choose the appropriate Collection title from the drop-down menu on the submission form. Please be sure to express your interest in the Collection in your cover letter. Please only submit to one journal, but note that authors have the option to transfer to another participating journal following the editors’ recommendation.
