In this Collection, the editors at Communications Health invite submissions that advance understanding of how indoor air quality affects human health across homes, workplaces, schools, healthcare facilities and other indoor environments. We welcome original research Articles that, for example, characterise pollutant exposures, quantify health impacts, or evaluate interventions to improve air quality.

This Collection focuses on the present-day clinical use of medical cannabis. We welcome research that examines prescribing patterns, pharmacy and dispensing practices, access pathways, regulatory and private‑practice models, and real‑world evidence. Studies addressing cannabis treatment of chronic pain, palliative care, insomnia, and anxiety, patient outcomes, and practice‑based clinical guidance are especially encouraged.

This collection covers cutting-edge novel methodological contributions on the edge of machine learning and chemistry in the rapidly evolving area of AI-driven drug discovery.

The aim of the collection “Parallel and Distributed Paradigms of Next-Generation Artificial Intelligence” is to provide a forum for developing theoretical foundations, system architectures, algorithms, and real-world applications of parallel and distributed AI across the unified computing framework of cloud-edge-IoT.

This collection invites cutting-edge research that explores how AI is reshaping education, training, and workforce development across formal, non-formal, and informal learning contexts.

The Journal of Eating Disorders invites high‑quality systematic and scoping reviews that advance understanding of the epidemiology, mechanisms, and treatment of clinical feeding and eating disorders. This special issue highlights rigorous evidence syntheses across ARFID, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, OSFED, and UFED, with a strong focus on understudied and diverse populations.
