Calls for papers

Manuscripts exploring glycans in the broadest sense, such as basic, translational, and applied glycobiology research fall within the scope of this collection.

With this collection we invite primary research articles and clinical reports that focus on the metabolic state of immune cells and metabolic regulation of immune responses in health or in disease.

Cell generate forces to maintain normal tissue morphology and function. Cells can also sense and process forces appropriate to their correct tissue context. With this cross-journal Collection between Communications Biology and Nature Communications, we welcome the submission of primary research articles exploring molecular mechanisms underlying how cells react to external mechanical stimuli, to forces between cells, and to intercellular forces

In this Collection, we invite studies that shed light on the many unanswered questions on the evolution of gene expression and its mechanisms.

This cross-journal Collection aims to explore the most recent advances on the topic of mitosis, mitotic regulation mechanisms, mitotic defects and their repercussions for cell growth and fate.

This cross-journal Collection welcomes submissions that explore stem cell biology, their therapeutic potential, and the use of stem cells and stem cell-derived products to treat human disease.

This cross-journal Collection welcomes submissions on the underlying mechanisms of the complex interplay between infection and cancer.

This Collection highlights the functional heterogeneity and specialization of the lymphatic vasculature across different tissues and organs.

This joint collection welcomes preclinical, clinical, epidemiological, and public health research focused on viral hepatitis.

In this cross-journal Collection, we welcome submissions of articles that focus on the basic principles, method developments, and applications of RNA-based therapeutics.
