Final blurb: BMC Plant Biology launches the collection, The plant microbiome. This collection aims to cover research on the plant microbiome, focusing on its composition and functions, plant-microbe interactions, and possible implications for agricultural practices. Research only focusing on microorganisms without a clear focus on plants/crops, plant-microbe interactions and/or plant-related agricultural practices will not be considered.

This Collection aims to gather research that explores the genomic and transcriptomic aspects of viral diseases, including viral evolution, zoonotic transmission, and host susceptibility genes. We invite submissions that investigate the use of next-generation sequencing and single-cell sequencing technologies to unravel the complexities of viral infections and transmission dynamics.

With this Collection between Communications Engineering, Communications Psychology, and Scientific Reports, we aim to support research in industrial robots and human-robot interaction, covering both technical and psychological aspects, to enable safe, adaptive and reconfigurable operation in industrial setting.

This cross-journal Collection showcases the latest developments in electron microscopy, and its use as a powerful tool for nanoscale characterization.

This Collection invites both experimental and theoretical contributions focused on the synthesis, functional properties, and diverse applications of MXenes.

This collection focuses on Systematic assessment of digital medical interventions to identify challenges in targeted outcomes for designing robust studies for clinical researchers.

BMC Health Services Research invites submissions for a collection focused on health services research with marginalized communities. This collection aims to amplify the voices of these groups, addressing barriers to healthcare, innovative solutions, and strategies to promote health equity. We welcome research on healthcare access, social determinants, community-based research, inclusive policies, technology's role, intersectionality, and ethical considerations.

BMC Medical Imaging is calling for submission to our Collection on Biomedical optics. The applications of biomedical optics span across medical diagnostics, therapeutic interventions, and fundamental biological research, offering non-invasive or minimally invasive alternatives to traditional methods. This Collection seeks to highlight novel optical techniques and technologies to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities.

BMC Neurology invites researchers to contribute a new Collection focused on the management of disorders of consciousness (DoC) that arise after severe acquired brain injuries. We seek studies that explore medical guidelines, diagnostic procedures, risk factors, and prognostic indicators related to DoC, as well as the integration of palliative care in this context. The aim of this Collection is to enhance clinical practices and improve outcomes for patients experiencing DoC.

This Humanities and Social Sciences Communications Collection aims to advance our theoretical understanding of boredom, improve the methods used to study boredom, and consider practical applications for managing boredom in real-world settings.

This Humanities and Social Sciences Communications Collection explores Isobenefit urbanism, a guiding development concept aiding implementation of high quality, localised and walkable cities.

The aim of this Collection is to survey the state of this dynamic field by sampling the breadth of present cutting-edge research and to gain perspectives on its future development and applications.

This Collection invites researchers to contribute to the growing field of genomics of endangered species, focusing on the genetic diversity, evolutionary history, and conservation strategies for species at risk of extinction. We welcome submissions that explore population genomics, genetic bottlenecks, and the application of genomic tools in conservation management, aiming to enhance our understanding and preservation of biodiversity.

This Discover Space Collection aims to provide in-depth discussions about the nature of dark matter, current constraints of dark matter, interactions between dark matter and baryons, and recent advances of dark matter detection techniques.

This Discover Physics Collection is thus aimed at bringing together theoretical and experimental researchers to discuss and review recent progress and results in Neutrino Physics, as well as to serve as a bridge between the different topics in the field.

This Discover Chemical Engineering collection focuses on the intelligent design of corrosion inhibitors using AI, machine learning, and high-throughput computation to efficiently discover and optimize molecules that prevent corrosion. This approach reduces development time and adapts to complex environments, supporting the creation of durable, eco-friendly inhibitors for advanced corrosion protection.

This Scientific Data Collection aims to provide descriptions of Phenology and species distribution datasets, as these data can together inform conservation strategies, biodiversity management, and ecosystem restoration efforts.

This Discover Physics Collection will focus on new physics and applications manifested in laser-produced plasmas, magnetically confined plasmas, and astrophysical plasmas, etc.

This Discover Civil Engineering Collection explores innovative research showing how expanded and effective usage of geospatial technologies now can help society be proactive against natural hazards.

This collection aims at covering the role of innate and adaptive immune cells in the bidirectional relationship between the liver, gut and microbiome during homeostasis and disease.
