Biotechnology is transforming materials by integrating biological systems to create adaptive, self-healing, and sustainable designs. This collection provides concise (max. 2,500 words), authoritative, accessible articles explaining principles, advances, limits, and challenges, bridging biotechnology, materials science, engineering, and sustainability for a multidisciplinary audience.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Communications, Communications Health, Communications Medicine, and Scientific Reports invite manuscripts that highlight the status and advance understanding of infectious diseases in LAC.

This Collection explores how environmental and lifestyle factors affect male fertility through mechanisms like epigenetics and oxidative stress, integrating human and animal studies within DoHAD and One Health frameworks.

This Collection explores chemsex and sexualised drug use through diverse LGBTQ+ experiences, moving beyond narrow risk-based frameworks. It welcomes research from underrepresented regions and populations, including trans and non-binary people, women, bisexual+ people and sex workers. Topics include harm reduction, community-led responses, criminalisation, wellbeing, pleasure, intimacy, intersectionality, and innovative approaches to LGBTQ+ health research and practice.

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth is calling for submissions to our Collection on Traditional birth workers.

This Collection focuses on the epidemiologic methods for addressing missing data in public health research. We welcome submissions that explore statistical techniques, data imputation strategies, and innovative approaches to mitigate the effects of incomplete data. By highlighting these methodologies, the Collection aims to enhance the quality and reliability of epidemiological studies, ultimately contributing to more effective public health policies and interventions.

This collection aims to advance interdisciplinary understanding of rising sea levels and their impacts on coastal ecosystems and human communities. It brings together research on the drivers, consequences, and future trajectories of sea level rise, alongside adaptive and mitigation strategies including policy, technological innovation, habitat restoration, and community led responses.

This Collection on Nonlinear Mathematical Models in Applied and Physical Systems invites contributions that explore the rich interplay between nonlinear modeling and various domains such as complex fluids, nonlinear optics, and mathematical biology. By focusing on practical applications and theoretical advancements, this Collection aims to highlight the transformative potential of nonlinear mathematics in addressing contemporary scientific challenges.

This Collection aims to facilitate the sharing of valuable data notes that advance our understanding of microbial diversity, evolution, and pathogenicity. By addressing topics such as genome annotation methods, antibiotic resistance, and bacterial responses to environmental factors, this Collection aims to encourage collaboration and drive new ideas in bacterial genomics.

This Scientific Data Collection will support the modelling and broader study of traffic management and urban planning, and is open to data from any journey type, transport mode, or location.

This collection focuses on attention-based deep learning and generative foundation models, including transformers and large language models, for perception, segmentation, and forecasting tasks.

The Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Journal is pleased to announce a call for thematic articles focusing on “Biologics in Rheumatic Diseases,” a rapidly evolving and highly impactful area in modern rheumatology.

This Collection welcomes original research articles that test causal pathways using neurocircuit, neuroimmune, computational, or circuit level interventions, and work that manipulates social, neural, or behavioural factors to uncover how loneliness shapes brain and mental health outcomes.

The Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Journal is pleased to announce a call for thematic articles focusing on “Neuromodulation in Rehabilitation medicine".

This Collection aims to bring together interdisciplinary research that bridges immersive technologies and game interaction, with a focus on interaction design, user experience, and real-world applications.

This Collection invites submissions of research into innovative architectures, optimisation methods, and real‑world implementations that push the boundaries of high‑performance storage systems.

This Collection focuses on emerging engineering and digital technologies that advance precision diabetes management and improve patient outcomes.

This Collection invites original research articles on artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches for energy forecasting in smart grids.

This collection aims to share a global understanding will emerge regarding how law and society can adapt to ensure that the digital ecosystem continues to support the principles of democracy and future sustainability

The Collection expects submission of articles jointly contributing to cultural heritage and robotics-related fields at the same time, by exploring new techniques and drawing future directions to help humans facing the challenges of preservation, understanding and restoration of humanity’s cultural heritage.
