Calls for papers

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Communications, and Communications Health invite manuscripts that highlight research efforts to connect data on environmental microbial surveillance, detection and epidemiology with human, animal and planetary health, as well as sustainability goals.

This collection brings together research that tackles the remaining technical challenges, which include capacity/power estimation at the pack, fault diagnosis, sorting, consistency evaluation, safety, and efficient and effective material recovery, regeneration and upcycling.

This Collection highlights articles that investigate the capabilities and limitations of QML models, aiming at clarifying the prospects for quantum advantage in the near future.

This Collection aims to unite research from diverse disciplines, encompassing theoretical, computational, and experimental studies that elucidate links between geometry, molecular architecture, and dynamical observables.

This cross-journal Collection highlights engineering advances, promote high-throughput evaluation for translational applications, or enhance biological and clinical relevance of next-generation Microphysiological Systems, such as 3D culture systems, organs-on-chips, and microfluidic platforms.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Communications, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports invite manuscripts that move beyond locus discovery to provide functional and mechanistic insights into genetic associations, including through fine-mapping, multi-omics integration, single-cell or spatial approaches, and in vitro/in vivo studies.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Cancer, Nature Communications, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports invite original research Articles that focus on the use of existing or the establishment of novel experimental cancer models to shed light on all aspects of tumour biology.

Editors invite manuscripts that highlight recent developments in the mechanisms, functions and experience of visual mental imagery. Topics include, but are not limited to, neural mechanisms of visual imagery, aphantasia, hyperphantasia, methods of assessing visual imagery, and cognitive processes related to visual imagery.

This Collection aims to unite diverse research spanning mitochondrial dynamics, cristae morphology, membrane regulation, lipid and protein–lipid composition, surveillance pathways, and the cellular responses that restore or eliminate damaged mitochondria.

With this collection, the editors invite manuscripts presenting interpretable models for analysis of spatial transcriptomic data.
