Calls for papers

This Collection welcomes primary research focused on establishing and characterising new and existing examples of convergent evolution at genetic, molecular and anatomical levels.

This Collection welcomes papers examining novel pain therapeutics and non-pharmacological interventions for pain.

This Collection aims at showcasing the latest advances in biological science using quantitative imaging approaches.

In support of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 13, Climate Action, this Collection welcomes research on the development, implementation, effectiveness, and potential consequences of climate engineering.

This themed Collection addresses the above-described issue by inviting original research that describes the latest advances in understanding the biophysical parameters that dictate the bioink rheology and cross-linking. We also welcome studies that exploit this fundamental understanding to enable the production of complex tissues as well as the modulation of cell function and cell-material interactions.

This Collection focuses on efforts to target all aspects of the tumor microenvironment, including drugs targeting infiltrating cell types.

This Collection invites original research on plant genetic engineering as a tool towards a more sustainable agriculture, from the generation of new plant varieties, to more complex field trials.

This Collection seeks to bring together original research on exoplanets, including the latest advances in the astronomy instrumentations which are required for their study.

This Guest Edited Collection will highlight research on the causes, consequences, forecasting, and mitigation of rising sea levels.

This Collection invites research on the role and mechanisms of barrier function in the immune response, how this response is modulated, and novel treatment strategies.
