This collection seeks original research on antimicrobial resistance, novel therapeutics, and innovative strategies to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens, with a focus on advancing our understanding and implementation of effective treatments.

This collection invites submissions that deepen our understanding of uropathogen diversity, pathophysiology, aetiology, and risk factors, with the goal of advancing accurate diagnostic approaches and improving treatment strategies.

This Collection invites original research articles exploring genetic mechanisms, regulation, and functional consequences of alternative splicing and protein isoform diversity across development, tissues, and disease contexts.

The Collection welcomes theoretical, computational, experimental, and applied studies that place vehicles, charging infrastructure, fleets, or mobility services at the center of the analysis.

This collection invites research on digital and AI-driven approaches for modern mental health systems, spanning predictive modeling, digital therapeutics, clinical implementation, and real-world evaluation.

This Collection examines how organ-level aging, biological age measurement, and modifiable exposures such as physical activity and UV radiation shape age-related disease risk. It welcomes research on aging biomarkers, physical activity patterns, photoprotection, skin aging, and prevention of frailty and other age-associated conditions across diverse populations.

This Collection focuses specifically on human-centered and crisis-responsive education in unequal digital contexts. Its unique contribution is to examine how AI and digital transformation can be designed, governed, and used to support inclusion, wellbeing, cultural relevance, and sustainable learning, especially in contexts where educational disadvantage is shaped by limited infrastructure, digital exclusion, climate vulnerability, social marginalisation, and institutional constraints.

This collection explores the multifaceted determinants of skeletal development during childhood and adolescence, bridging the gap between clinical medicine and sports science. It welcomes multidisciplinary research on how nutrition, lifestyle, clinical conditions, and athletic training influence pediatric bone mass accrual and structural health.

This Collection aims to explore how next-generation Earth observation and computational frameworks can seamlessly integrate data-driven artificial intelligence with physically based hydrological models to forecast shifts in the hydrosphere under climatic uncertainty.

This Collection focuses on the intersection of integrated water resources management, transboundary waters, and water economics.

This collection focuses on latest development of 2D quantum device architecture and discovery of novel mesoscopic quantum electronic phenomena.

This Collection explores how buildings, neighbourhoods, and urban systems can be shaped to support health, resilience, sustainability, and social inclusion. It welcomes interdisciplinary research on healthy built environments, adaptive design, urban climate, smart systems, and equitable pathways toward more livable urban futures.

This Collection focuses on how social determinants and health system factors influence the health of mothers, newborns, children, and adolescents in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It highlights the role of inequalities, cultural contexts, and access to care, while showcasing innovative, evidence-based approaches to improving health outcomes. The aim is to inform equitable, sustainable policies and interventions aligned with global health goals.

Join the conversation on how physical activity influences health outcomes. We invite original research that explores the intersection of psychology, physical therapy, and recreation to enhance well-being and promote sustainable practices.

Body image is a multidimensional concept shaped by personal and social influences across offline and digital contexts, affecting both well-being and psychological outcomes.

Selected Extended Conference Papers from REST 2026 Conference. The Special Issue seeks to bridge engineering innovation, sustainability science, environmental assessment, and energy policy to support resilient and intelligent renewable energy transitions.

This collection will focus on recent advances in the design, fabrication, and functional evaluation of biomaterials for ocular applications, with particular emphasis on corneal tissue regeneration. The aim of this Collection is to bring together interdisciplinary contributions that bridge fundamental biomaterials research with clinically relevant solutions in ophthalmology.

With this collection, we invite studies that elucidate the mechanisms underlying these phenomena, advancing our understanding of cellular dynamics within tumours.

The Collection “Advances in Arterial Research: Emerging Insights from India” aims to showcase cutting-edge basic, translational, and clinical research advancing our understanding of arterial biology, physiology, and disease.

Communications Biology invites submissions that employ manipulative and experimental approaches in communities of macroorganisms to investigate species interactions and their consequences for ecological networks.
