Calls for papers

This collection is open to original articles spanning a diverse area of early pregnancy and its complications across fundamental, translational, clinical, and epidemiological perspectives.

This Collection welcomes original research on the ocular microbiome across human, animal and in-vitro models. We invite submissions on microbial diversity, host-microbe interactions and multi-omics approaches utilizing metagenomics, imaging, immunology and computational biology.

This Collection welcomes original research articles on quantum networks, focusing on the latest advancements required to build and exploit quantum networks.

This Scientific Reports Collection welcomes original research on waste-to-energy technologies and innovative applications, including robust econometrics and ecological studies to assess their feasibility at local and global scales.

This collection welcomes submissions investigating mechanisms of TAD formation and maintenance, chromatin looping and gene regulation, impact of 3D genome on transcriptional landscapes and high-throughput methods for studying genome organisation.

This Collection seeks original research across the field of medical implants, with a focus on surface engineering technologies and soft implants.

In this joint collection between Communications Biology, Nature Communications, Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, and Scientific Reports, we invite submissions containing new methods for the prediction of structure of macromolecules such as proteins, peptides and RNA.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Communications, Communications Physics and Scientific Reports invite manuscripts that advance the fundamental physics of CMOS-compatible semiconductor qubits, tackle scalability issues, and showcase practical applications in quantum computing, communication, and simulation.

In this cross-journal Collection, we invite research into the complex signalling pathways of innate immunity, emphasising the activation and regulation of pattern recognition receptors in response to microbial and endogenous triggers.

This Collection invites original research on the development, mechanisms, and application of microbiome-based therapies, including engineered microbial interventions, live biotherapeutics, pro-, pre-, and synbiotics.
