This Collection aims to provide a dedicated venue for high-quality research that advances computational and AI-driven methods for biological imaging while remaining grounded in real biological questions and datasets.

24-hour movement behaviours—physical activity, sedentary time, and sleep—are vital for early childhood health and development, interacting across the day to shape lifelong outcomes. The global SUNRISE Study examines these behaviours in 3–4-year-olds using harmonised methods, enabling cross-country comparisons. It reveals links to physical, cognitive, and emotional health, but gaps remain, especially in low- and middle-income settings, highlighting the need for equitable, evidence-based policies.

This Collection invites researchers to contribute to the growing field of surgical modeling and 3D printing. We seek studies exploring innovations in medical imaging and anatomical modelling that improve preoperative planning tools and additive manufacturing (i.e. 3D printing) technologies, which together support modern personalized reconstructive surgical procedures. We aim to enhance our understanding of how these technologies can improve surgical outcomes and patient care.

This Collection welcomes original research on the determinants of marginalisation in rural populations, as well as studies that advance our understanding of how to reduce inequalities and promote inclusion in rural settings.

In support of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), BMC Plant Biology presents the Collection Circadian rhythms in plants and algae. The Collection highlights research on how circadian systems shape plant and algal responses to environmental change, including climate‑driven stress. It welcomes studies on rhythm–environment interactions, epigenetic regulation, and strategies to enhance crop adaptability, resilience, and performance.

Exploring cutting-edge techniques in community detection, this topic leverages network analysis and machine learning to uncover hidden clusters and patterns within complex systems and large datasets.

This Collection invites contributions that focus on digital solutions for adverse event tracking for adverse events overall, including in pharmacovigilance.
