The Neurovascular Interface
- Submission status
- Closed
- Submission deadline
Neurovascular biology is an emerging and fascinating field, which is rapidly advancing our understanding about the mechanisms governing communication between the nervous system and vasculature, both in health and disease.
To help advance this exciting area, Communications Biology welcomes submissions that contribute to our understanding of all things neurovascular. We are interested in studies that shed light on glymphatics, the blood-brain barrier, neurovascular signalling, coupling and pathology, and studies aimed at developing relevant tools for these research domains. In addition to original Research Articles, we will also consider Reviews, Perspectives and Comments covering these topics. All submissions will be subject to the same review process as regular Communications Biology Articles.
The Collection will publish original research papers, Reviews, Perspectives and Comments (full details on content types can be found here). Papers will be published in Communications Biology as soon as they are accepted and then collected together and promoted on the Collection homepage. All Guest Edited Collections are associated with a call for papers and are managed by one or more of our Editorial Board Members and/or the journal's Editors.
All Collections are open for submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of Communications Biology more generally. See our editorial process page for more details. All submissions will be subject to the same review process and editorial standards as regular Communications Biology Articles, including the journal’s policy on competing interests. The Guest Editors have no competing interests with the submissions, which they handle through the peer-review process. The peer review of any submissions for which the Guest Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests. This Collection has not been supported by sponsorship.
