Calls for papers

This cross-journal collection will consider submissions of research Articles and Registered Reports that advance the science and practice of cancer prevention, including strategies to reduce cancer risk and improve early detection.

This cross‑journal Collection encourages studies addressing disease heterogeneity, phenotypes and endotypes, risk stratification, progression, prognosis, treatment response, as well as innovative translational studies, including hybrid studies integrating mechanistic or translational insights with clinical data.

This collection welcomes original pre-clinical and clinical studies on CNS injuries, focusing on diverse aspects in pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation strategies.

This cross-journal Collection showcases the broad and exciting field of emerging techniques and applications in medical ultrasound.

This Collection calls for papers that investigate the expanding clinical and biological roles of GLP‑1 RAs. We welcome studies that examine the mechanisms underlying their metabolic and weight‑loss effects, along with clinical research evaluating their use in cardiovascular and cardiometabolic disease, hepatic disorders, and neurological conditions, including neurodegenerative processes.

In this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Neuroscience, Nature Immunology, Nature Communications and Communications Medicine aim to bring together cutting-edge research exploring the mechanistic and diagnostic intersections between immune dysregulation and neuronal decline.

With this Collection, we aim to highlight some of the latest cancer vaccine-related papers published in the journals and we welcome submissions of primary research papers that focus on the clinical development in the field, including but not limited to personalized vaccine approaches.

This Collection aims to bring together research from various domains, including the genetic underpinnings of rare diseases, innovative diagnostic methods, and emerging treatment options.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Communications Health, Nature Food, Nature Communications, Communications Medicine and Scientific Reports invite manuscripts that explore the epidemiology, biological and behavioral mechanisms, community- and population-level patterns, and interventional and policy-related approaches pertaining to ultra-processed foods.

This Collection seeks to unite research on the interplay between metabolic and neurological functions, focusing on topics such as the role of the gut microbiome in modulating mental health and metabolic disorders, the influence of nutritional status and diet on the gut-brain axis, the impact of therapeutic interventions such as GLP-1 agonists, mechanisms linking gut health and mental well-being, the role of gut hormones in metabolic regulation, and inter-organ communication in health and disease.
