BMC Nephrology is calling for submissions to our collection on chronic kidney disease (CKD) as it relates to women's health. Authors are invited to submit original research that delves into the multifaceted relationship between CKD and various aspects of women's health, from pregnancy and beyond.

The primary aim of the topical collection in BMC Surgery is to provide a comprehensive platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research and clinical insights related to robotic and minimally invasive spine surgery. We invite original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical trials, translational work, narrative reviews and novel operative techniques, from surgeons and other healthcare professionals to contribute to this rapidly evolving discipline.

BMC Nephrology seeks submissions on the modulation and regulation of the immune system in the kidneys, to deepen our understanding of immune-mediated acute and chronic kidney diseases and identify potential therapeutic targets. We invite contributions on immune cell populations, immunomodulatory mechanisms, and regulatory immune cells within the renal microenvironment, with the goal of advancing our knowledge of immune system regulation in the context of kidney health and disease.

This Collection welcomes original research papers on all aspects of new materials, processing and gaps related to geopolymeric materials.

Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to control transport across membranes and signaling pathways, finely regulated e.g. to sustain growth and development, and respond to biotic and abiotic cues. This BMC Plant Biology collection aims to bring together original research that covers the emerging developments in plant biology, biochemistry, structural biology, molecular biology and genetics applied to plant membrane transport and signaling research.

BMC Bioinformatics is welcoming submissions to our Collection on 3D genomics. This Collection welcomes submissions on the development of novel computational and statistical approaches for the analysis of 3D genomics data.

This Collection gathers original research exploring the mechanisms, diagnostic criteria and potential treatment pathways for sepsis.

This HSS Comms Collection examines the relationship between populism and media culture and practice.

BMC Psychology seeks innovative research on psychosomatic disorders, exploring the complex interplay between psychological factors and physical symptoms.

This Collection gathers research on the use of AI to tackle climate change, focusing on modeling and actionable insights. We welcome submissions that explore the application of AI, machine learning, and deep learning, in addressing climate challenges. with the aim of informing evidence-based strategies for sustainable environmental management.

BMC Medicine is calling for submissions to our Collection on cancer prevention. This Collection seeks to highlight developments in understanding the molecular, genetic, environmental, and lifestyle determinants that contribute to cancer development, and potential strategies to prevent their occurrence.

This Collection welcomes perspectives and original research articles and review papers [pas1] dealing with temporary (Mg, Zn, Fe, or Mo alloys) and permanent (Ti, Stainless Steel, Co-Cr-Mo alloys, Pt and others) metallic medical devices and implants.

This collection aims to promote the work of women scientists across all fields of parasitology. Please note to be considered for this collection, the first or last author must be a researcher who identifies as a woman.

The advancement of deep learning and transfer learning techniques, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), has revolutionized the field of plant disease detection and classification. These innovations have enabled the development of sophisticated image processing algorithms that can accurately identify and classify plant diseases, leading to improved crop management and agricultural sustainability.

As the IPCC prepares its first Special Report on Climate Change in Cities, we are launching this Special Collection to bring forward methodological, theoretical, and empirical advances in urban climate science as well as closely connected disciplines through new empirical reviews, syntheses, meta-analyses, comparative analyses and perspectives.

This collection welcomes novel research and opinions around AI and the use of AI to address sustainability, resilience, and equity challenges in cities.

In this cross-journal collection between Communications Earth and Environment, Nature Geoscience, Nature Communications and Scientific Reports, we highlight studies that investigate the triggering mechanisms of landslides and the prediction of related hazards. We include work that utilizes observational methods, such as remote sensing and fieldwork, as well as experimental and analytical approaches, numerical modeling, and machine learning analysis.

In this cross-journal Collection, we showcase articles that explore the social determinants of human infectious diseases. This covers, for example, risk factors related to socioeconomic status or income, ethnicity, housing, education, exposure to conflict, and problematic drug or alcohol use. We welcome submissions of original research including observational studies identifying or quantifying risk factors, modelling studies, economic analyses, and studies that assess impacts of interventions.

With this cross-journal collection, the editors at Nature Communications, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports invite manuscripts highlighting the emerging omics approaches to study reproductive biology, including the development, pathological conditions and aging of both female and male reproductive tissues, as well as fertilization and embryo implantation.

This collection highlights the role of lineage tracing in understanding mammary gland biology and breast cancer. We invite research on mapping cell fate, stem cell identification, and tissue regeneration, as well as studies on tumor origins, progression, and cancer cell diversity. The aim is to advance knowledge and improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for breast cancer.
