Collection 

DNA damage response and Immunity

Submission status
Open
Submission deadline

Failure to repair DNA damage can result in DNA lesions and mutations that are a driving factors in cancer development. Recent work has identified a function for DNA damage repair mechanism beyond tumorigenesis.  The editors of Nature Communications and Communications Biology welcome submission on the function of DNA repair processes in regulating immune responses and tumorigenesis at the molecular and cellular level, and the consequences on a systemic level. Examples include genome stability links to immune response and evasion in cancer, mechanism and regulation of DNA damage sensing and identification of new vulnerabilities and antitumor therapies. 

To submit, see the participating journals
DNA damage, 3D illustration, Concept of disease genetic disorder or genetic engineering

The 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 of Nature Communications and Communications Biology more generally. 

All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of the specific journal which they are submitted through Nature Communications or Communications Biology. Visit Nature portfolio’s Collections guidelines for more details.

 

When submitting your manuscript to Nature Communications or Communications Biology 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 authors have the option to transfer to another participating journal following the editors’ recommendation.
