The editors at Communications Biology now invite mechanistic studies that advance understanding of epigenetic regulation in development using in vivo systems, organoids, or other model systems.

Biology of Sex Differences celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences (OSSD) by inviting contributions to this commemorative Collection from selected speakers at the 2026 OSSD Annual Meeting, as well as from key past contributors whose work has helped shape the field.

We invite submissions that examine the mechanistic role and relevance of emerging or recently functionalized PTMs in the context of mammalian cell biology or disease.

Communications Biology invites submissions to this Collection focusing on stem cell-driven regeneration and repair in development, homeostasis, and disease.

BMC Medicine is calling for submissions to our new Collection invites submissions focused on the treatment and management of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASH) and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASLD). We welcome research that explores the pathophysiology, diagnostics, therapeutic interventions, and clinical outcomes related to these increasingly prevalent liver diseases, aiming to enhance understanding and improve patient care in this vital area

BMC Pediatrics invites submissions to its Collection, Preterm infants and their developmental trajectories in the first 2000 days. This Collection focuses on the unique developmental pathways of children born preterm during this critical period from pregnancy to early childhood. We welcome research on neonatal and post‑discharge care, early nutrition, follow‑up and screening practices, and the physical, cognitive, and socio‑emotional development of preterm infants across the first 2000 days.

This Collection highlights the intrinsic molecular programs that govern skeletal muscle stem cell fate during development, homeostasis, regeneration, aging, and disease. It brings together studies that uncover how transcriptional, epigenetic, post‑transcriptional, translational, and metabolic mechanisms regulate stem cell quiescence, activation, self‑renewal, and differentiation, and how disruption of these processes drives regenerative decline in aging and muscle diseases.

This collection welcomes original research articles on the synthesis, characterization, and mechanistic study of inorganic materials for solar and electrochemical energy conversion, such as photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, energy storage, and emerging inorganic platforms.

This Collection explores research into emerging design practices, evaluation methods, and application domains demonstrating how XR and AR can elevate user experience across everyday, clinical, and educational settings.

This Collection investigates the intersection of Marketing and Sustainability within a 2026 landscape defined by Agentic AI, Digital Fragmentation, and a continuous Permacrisis. It seeks interdisciplinary research on bridging the "action gap" through ethical social media dynamics, the mitigation of Sustainability Misinformation (Fake News), and the implementation of SDG-aligned digital innovations like Digital Product Passports.

This Collection invites original research into biomolecular condensates in cancer, from studies examining changes in condensates in cancer to those looking at condensates as therapeutic targets.

This Collection invites research focused on the impact of gastrointestinal infections on the gut microbiome. We welcome submissions that explore the interactions between enteric pathogens and microbial communities, the consequences of these infections on gut health, and potential therapeutic approaches. By fostering a deeper understanding of these relationships, this Collection aims to contribute to advancements in public health and personalized medicine.

This Collection invites research at the intersection of computational drug repurposing, multimodal biomedical data, and artificial intelligence, to accelerate the identification of new therapeutic uses for approved or clinical-stage drugs.

This Collection invites research that explores the intersection of radiology and geriatric medicine, focusing on the imaging needs of the aging population. We welcome submissions that address diagnostic imaging for age-related diseases, multimorbidity, and the advancements in radiological techniques that enhance patient care for the elderly. The goal is to highlight innovative research that improves health outcomes in geriatric populations through effective imaging strategies.

This Collection aims to organize and highlight innovative research that demonstrates how biological approaches can improve nutritional status, intestinal function, and disease management.

This Collection seeks to explore the dynamics of resistance encountered by healthcare professionals in adopting new technologies. By examining factors influencing this resistance and showcasing effective strategies for overcoming barriers, the Collection aims to contribute to the development of a more adaptable health workforce. Researchers are encouraged to submit their findings to inform and enhance the conversation around in
