  • Collection |

    With this Collection, Nature Communications, Nature Genetics, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports aim to publish research articles based on genetic studies in diverse human populations. This Collection includes the breadth of human genetics research, including but not limited to complex trait association studies, rare variant studies, population genetics and bioinformatics methods. We will also consider Reviews, Perspectives, and Comments addressing these topics.

    Stem cell models of development, regeneration, and disease are quickly advancing. New technologies and concepts are continuously combined with existing knowledge to create more realistic systems to improve our understanding of these intricate processes. In this collection, we highlight papers published in 2022-2023 across Nature Portfolio journals on topics including embryonic development and stem cells, reproductive biology, synthetic tissues and embryo models, clinical and translational research and tissue stem cells.

    One of the fundamental biological processes in life is the cell cycle leading from DNA replication to cell division. While it has been studied for decades and our knowledge has matured, sophisticated experimental approaches have rejuvenated the field. In addition, cell cycle regulators have emerged as cancer therapy targets. This collection showcases ground-breaking cell cycle papers and reviews, ranging from basic discoveries to clinical applications.
