This Collection highlights contributions from leading experts across the field, covering a broad spectrum of molecular and cellular processes implicated in a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases.

Nature Communications, Communications Materials, Communications Engineering and Scientific Reports are now inviting research Articles on the topic of metamaterials design, microstructural and topological development, and optimization across scale. This Collection will highlight Articles that involve new tools, methods, and emerging strategies for advancing the properties of materials through topology and structural design rather than through thermophysical processing or chemical alloying means.

This collection invites contributions that advance HLE methodology or apply innovative techniques to explore trends and inequalities. We welcome work on statistical modeling, software discrepancies, age harmonization, indirect estimation, and empirical comparisons. With rising interest in health demography and equity, this collection aims to shape the future of HLE research and practice.

This Call for Papers invites interdisciplinary research on reindustrialization, global industrial chain shifts, and vocational education in the AI era.

This collection, AI and Soft Robotics in Agriculture: From Sensing to Harvesting and Beyond, is multidisciplinary in scope. It brings together research not only in agricultural robotics but also in emerging sensing materials, disease detection, advanced imaging, and “farm of the future” technologies. Beyond robotics and AI, the collection seeks contributions from biological sciences, with a focus on plant phenotyping, diagnostic tools, and sustainable agricultural solutions.

This topical collection explores the integration of artificial for teaching and learning of second and foreign languages. It invites research on AI-driven tools and platforms that enhance teaching effectiveness, personalize learning experiences, and improve language assessment and feedback. The collection welcomes empirical studies, conceptual frameworks, and design-based innovations that showcase how AI is transforming language pedagogy.

Microbial Ecology invites contributions to its collection on biofilms and surface-associated microbial communities, that explore their roles in infection, antimicrobial resistance, adhesion, communication, and emerging applications in bioremediation and wastewater treatment.

This collection highlights recent developments in dynamical systems and nonlinear dynamics, emphasizing computational methods, vibration control, bifurcation, and chaos theory. It welcomes research that bridges theoretical advances with practical engineering applications, offering new insights into complex and high-dimensional systems.

This special issue focuses on advancing AI literacy in children, a largely underexplored area. We welcome contributions on innovative educational practices, assessment tools, and learning analytics (e.g., ML, topic modelling, multimodal analysis). Submissions may explore prompt engineering, pedagogical strategies, and empirical or theoretical work that empowers young learners through AI education.

This collection explores the integration of robotics and GenAI in early childhood education. We invite research on curriculum design, ethical considerations, and developmental impacts. Topics include GenAI-powered learning tools, educator support, and frameworks for responsible use. The goal is to advance understanding of how these technologies can support young children's cognitive and socio-emotional growth.

In this special collection, we welcome submissions on studies that focus on geodetic data analysis and the estimation of seismic and other geological disaster potentials in active regions across Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, Philippines, and other areas. We particularly encourage research that advances the current understanding and application of geodetic techniques in hazard assessment.

Collection aims to explore the intersection of nutrition, culture, and health. By examining the benefits of traditional dietary practices, this Collection seeks to highlight their role in improving health outcomes, enhancing mental well-being, and promoting sustainable food systems

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Communications AI & Computing, Nature Communications, and Scientific Reports invite manuscripts that address the challenges and opportunities in deploying lightweight machine learning models for edge computing environments.

This journal collection aims to shine a spotlight on this research and to provide a centralised platform to advance knowledge, refine guidelines, and promote best practices tailored to females with a performance or health goal

This collection explores innovative approaches to infrastructure resilience amid climate and societal shifts. Featuring research from UBC Okanagan, it integrates engineering, data science, and urban planning to address challenges like aging assets, extreme weather, and post-pandemic recovery. Topics include digital twins, deep learning, and environmental integration to support sustainable, adaptive infrastructure systems.

This collection explores mental health disparities during extraordinary crises in South-East Asia, including natural disasters and public health emergencies. It highlights community-level variations, culturally adapted interventions, and the role of social determinants in shaping mental health outcomes. Contributions will inform equitable policies and innovative strategies to support vulnerable populations across the region.

In this collection, the editors of Nature Metabolism, Communications Biology, Nature Communications, and Scientific Reports aim to highlight cutting-edge research in muscle biology.

This invitation-only collection showcases outstanding works presented at the 39th International Electric Propulsion Conference (IEPC 2025), selected by the chairs of the conference’s technical sessions as the best contributions within their respective areas. The invited articles span a broad range of topics, from advances in computational and experimental plasma physics relevant to electric propulsion, to the development of technologies and concepts that shape the present and future of the field

This special collection comprises invited contributions from the 39th International Electric Propulsion Conference (IEPC 2025) held in London, UK. Submission Information: Authors should select the appropriate Collection title “Special Issue of the 39th International Electric Propulsion Conference”under the “Details” tab during the submission stage.

This Collection aims to explore the latest research and advancements in sports-related musculoskeletal injuries. We focus on injury prevention, rehabilitation, and innovative treatments, with an emphasis on enhancing athletic performance and health outcomes. By fostering multidisciplinary collaboration, we aim to address the challenges faced by athletes and contribute to the broader understanding of musculoskeletal health in sports.
