Calls for papers

This cross-journal collection welcomes the submission of primary research articles that focus on neuronal circuits in the hypothalamus involved in feeding/metabolism and other motivated behaviors.

This Collection will highlight Articles that involve new tools and emerging techniques for imaging at increased penetration depths within tissue as well as considering advances in conventional and state-of-the-art light microscopy techniques.

In this collection, we want to highlight research that focuses on fragments in drug discovery. Have you found validated fragment hits for a new disease target? Maybe they unlocked an unreported enzyme mechanism? Were you able to develop a method that is useful for fragment-based drug discovery? Perhaps you found a hit that made it to clinical trials? We invite all scientists who work with fragments in the context of drug discovery to submit their interesting fragment stories. We look forward to hearing all about them.

With this collection, Nature Communications, Nature Medicine, Communications Medicine and Scientific Reports aim to publish research articles spanning the breadth of AMR and across microbial pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites). This includes, and is not limited to epidemiological monitoring of resistance incidence in clinical and environmental settings, novel strategies aiming to combat or prevent AMR (i.e. drug repurposing, drug synergy treatment, and vaccines), improvements in diagnostics, and subsequently tailored treatment, of drug-resistant infections.

This collection aims to improve understanding how the immune system changes during aging and welcomes submissions to Nature Communications, Communications Biology, and Scientific Reports.

The editors at Nature Communications, npj Science of Food, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports invite submissions in the areas of alternative/non-animal protein sources, cultivated meat technology (including cell lines, tissue engineering, culture media) and general considerations around cultivated meat.

The editors at Nature Communications, Communications Biology, Communications Engineering and Scientific Reports invite submissions on Microphysiological Systems, specifically Engineering Advances, Modeling Biological Phenomena and Modelling Disease & Drug Testing.

This cross-journal collection curated by Editors of Nature Communications, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports is dedicated to primary research that showcases the use of in vitro models to widen our understanding about formation of the human body.

This Collection welcomes submissions to Nature Communications, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports that aim to advance our understanding of plant microbiomes.

This Collection seeks submissions to Nature Communications, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports that highlight the unique insights that can be gained from research on non-traditional model organisms.
