This Collection invites original research on aneuploidy in early human development, focusing on embryo viability, chromosomal mosaicism, and preimplantation genetic testing. It highlights molecular cytogenetic and cytogenomic analyses of human gametes and embryos, integrating experimental, computational, and clinical perspectives on meiotic and mitotic errors, chromosomal instability, and early lineage specification.

This series aims to bring together work that connects ecological and evolutionary insight with public health relevance and supports the development of interaction-informed strategies for the control of vector-borne diseases.

This Collection focuses on the interplay between fibrosis, senescence, and tissue remodelling in inflammatory diseases. Contributions are sought that examine the underlying mechanisms, implications for health outcomes, and potential therapeutic targets, with the aim of advancing understanding and treatment in this crucial area of medical research.

This topic focuses on optimization strategies and inherent performance trade-offs in modern peer-to-peer (P2P) applications — from structured overlays, content distribution and streaming to P2P-based computing and blockchain overlays. It emphasizes analyses, protocols, and strategies that balance competing metrics (e.g. latency, throughput, resource usage, reliability, and overhead) to achieve efficient yet robust behavior.

This special issue will feature a curated selection of papers from the European Transport Conference 2025 (ETC 2025), held in Antwerp, Belgium, from 17–19 September 2025. The European Transport Conference is a leading international forum for the presentation of policy, research, and practice in transport. The selected contributions reflect the diversity and depth of discussions at ETC 2025 and highlight emerging priorities within the transport sector.

Bioactive and functional nanomaterials are transforming biomedical science by enabling precise interactions at the molecular and cellular levels.
