Microphysiological Systems
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
This cross-journal collection on “Microphysiological Systems” is a collaboration between Nature Communications, Communications Biology, Communications Engineering and Scientific Reports. Microphysiological Systems feature the culture of cells, tissues or organoids inside of biomimetic microfluidic devices that aim to recapitulate the circulation and interconnection between different organs found within the human body. These platforms modeling (patho)physiological processes promise to revolutionize basic research as well as drug development and screening, while enabling personalized medicine and reducing our reliance on animal experiments. Within this field, we look forward to seeing submissions on the sub-topics of, but not exclusively on, Engineering Advances, Modeling Biological Phenomena, and Modelling Disease & Drug Testing.
This Collection is 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 the participating journals more generally.
All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of the specific participating journal through which they are submitted. Visit Nature portfolio’s Collections guidelines for more details.
When submitting your manuscript to a participating journal via our online submission system, please choose the appropriate Collection title from the drop-down menu on the submission form. Please be sure to express your interest in the Collection in your cover letter. Please only submit to one journal, but note that authors have the option to transfer to another participating journal following the editors’ recommendation.
This Collection has not been supported by sponsorship.
