This topic examines epigenetic regulation in cancer progression, focusing on how DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs influence tumor behavior and treatment responses.

The Collection seeks to gather research that addresses the vulnerabilities and strategies necessary for health systems to effectively respond to emergencies. We welcome submissions that explore innovative frameworks, technology integration, community engagement, and workforce development. By advancing knowledge in these areas, this Collection aims to enhance the overall resilience of health systems and improve public health outcomes in times of crisis.

This Humanities and Social Sciences Communications Collection invites interdisciplinary research that deepens understanding of the people, societies, environments, and ideas that shaped the ancient world in all its global variations.

This collection invites contributions that engage with the political economy, governance, and socio-economic dimensions of sustainability transitions in Africa. We particularly encourage interdisciplinary and policy-relevant research that advances understanding of how sustainability transitions can be aligned with inclusive and resilient development pathways.

This Collection invites contributions on healthcare waste management and circular solutions. By examining various aspects, including resource recovery and waste valorisation, the Collection aims to inform practices that contribute to a sustainable healthcare system. We welcome contributions that address strategies for minimising waste and enhancing circularity within healthcare contexts.

This Collection explores cutting-edge advances in quantum metrology, emphasizing squeezed and entangled states to surpass the standard quantum limit and approach the Heisenberg limit. Contributions will highlight breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced sensing, interferometry, and spectroscopy, showcasing transformative applications across science and technology.

With this Collection, editors at Communications AI & Computing, Nature Communications and Communications Sustainability invite high-quality submissions that advance the computational foundations and applications of AI in smart agriculture.

Pediatric Rheumatology presents a two‑year Collection, exclusively dedicated to outstanding scientific contributions from the European Pediatric Rheumatology Congresses (PReS) in Helsinki (2025) and Belgrade (2026). It features invited research and review articles on immune‑mediated diseases, diagnostics, biomarkers, genetics, imaging, therapeutic strategies, and long‑term outcomes, reflecting current progress in pediatric rheumatology.

This Collection invites original research articles investigating the interactions and immune control mechanisms that determine retrovirus infection outcome.

This Collection invites contributions that critically explore the relationships between children, teenagers and social media, with particular attention to how digital platforms intersect with broader cultural norms, social inequalities, global regulatory shifts, and generational identities.

This collection examines microplastics, nanoplastics, PFAS and other emerging contaminants in aquatic systems, focusing on their sources, transformation, transport and impacts on ecosystems and human health. It emphasizes integrative approaches linking environmental exposure to toxicology, alongside advances in analytics, exposome frameworks and innovative remediation for sustainable water quality management.

The Collection welcomes contributions involving nanoparticles, porous materials, polymers, biopolymers, hydrogels, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), mesoporous materials, biomaterials, composites, carbon-based nanostructures, stimuli-responsive systems, multifunctional hybrid materials, and advanced dental biomaterials designed for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

Environmental change is reshaping interactions among plants, soil microbiomes, and pathogens, with important consequences for ecosystem productivity, stability, and disease dynamics. This Collection explores plant–soil–microbe interactions and their role in supporting resilient ecosystems and sustainable disease management.

This Collection examines the biological drivers and mechanisms of soil carbon cycling, exploring how microorganisms, mycorrhizal fungi, soil fauna, plant roots, and mineral interactions regulate carbon transformation, stabilization, and storage across terrestrial ecosystems.

BMC Biology invites submissions to our Collection on Pluripotency, differentiation, and reprogramming. This Collection aims to highlight the molecular basis of pluripotency, differentiation, and developmental plasticity, and how these processes shape early embryonic organization and inform disease modelling and regenerative applications.

This Collection welcomes advances in bioengineered and preclinical models that improve the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of women's health conditions.
