Calls for papers

With this Collection, a partnership between Nature Communications, Communications Medicine, Communications Biology, and Scientific Reports, we welcome submissions of primary research papers that focus on immune cell engineering for cancer therapy. The journals are particularly interested in preclinical studies proposing new engineering strategies and therapeutic developments.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors of Communications Biology, Nature Biomedical Engineering, Nature Sensors, Nature Communications, and Scientific Reports welcome the submission of primary research Articles focusing on the development of engineered biosensing devices with the potential to be applied in biomedical research and in the management of disease conditions.

This cross-journal Collection welcomes submissions on novel cortical-subcortical circuit mechanisms regulating sensory processing, perception and cognition.

This cross-journal Collection with Communications Biology, Communications Medicine, Nature Communications and Scientific Reports invites submissions focusing on structural variants (SVs) in organismal biology and disease.

This cross-journal Collection invites research that investigates the ecological impacts of nano- and microplastics.

The editors invite articles in all areas of research investigating the roles of RNA in plant biotic interactions.

The objective of this collection is to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research on the molecular mechanisms, regulatory networks and roles of proteolysis in plants under both physiological and stress conditions.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Communications, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports invite submissions aiming to explore the intricate roles of intracellular organelles and their interactions in cancer cells or cellular components in the tumor microenvironment. We would also highlight studies reporting technological advances in probing organelle dynamics in cancer, and developing targeted therapies that have translational potential.

This cross-journal collection invites submissions that investigate human brain changes across all or multiple stages of life, from in-utero to older age.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Biomedical Engineering, Nature Medicine, Nature Neuroscience, Nature Biotechnology, Nature Communications, Communications Medicine, Communications Biology, and Scientific Reports invite manuscripts that highlight the development, use and insight obtained from applying neuroengineering approaches.
