3D genome organisation

 3D基因组组织

客座编辑：Joanna M. Bridger, Elissa P. Lei, Asli Silahtaroglu

Development of new techniques for chromosome configuration capture, utilising in particular - but not only - the benefits of next generation sequencing, has allowed us to probe the three dimensional structure of the genome and to study its complex role in gene regulation in new and exciting ways. This Collection will focus on further methodological advances in this field as well as on the applications of these new techniques to study nuclear organization and how genome architecture regulates gene expression.

Topological materials 

拓扑材料

客座编辑：Ramon Aguado, Saroj P. Dash, Yuki Shiomi

Significant attention within the field of condensed matter is being directed toward novel materials and structures, that present topological behaviour. Topological materials exhibit non-trivial electronic band structure, resulting in fascinating properties that may be harnessed for quantum computing. This Collection will bring together research on the relationship between materials and topology, highlighting new methodologies as well as exciting physical properties.

New samples from planetary bodies 

来自行星体的新样本

客座编辑：Alberto G. Fairén, Jianghui Ji (中国科学院紫金山天文台), Mónica Sánchez-Román

Bringing planetary body samples back to Earth allows for their more careful and rigorous analysis. Many current and future space missions plan to achieve this, as such samples could shed light on the origin and evolution of our Solar System, as well as providing additional insight as to our place in the universe. This Collection will highlight the inter-disciplinary nature of this endeavour by bringing together original research across physics, biology, and chemistry, focusing on the development of novel instrumentation, methodology, and planetary science required to retrieve and analyse these samples.

Mitochondrial dysfunction

 线粒体功能障碍

客座编辑：Hirofumi Arakawa, Cecilia Giulivi, Kezhong Zhang

In the last decade, there has been an increased appreciation for mitochondria as central hubs in a diversity of processes, such as cellular energy, immunity, and signal transduction. As such, mitochondrial dysfunction underlies many diseases, including primary (mutations in genes encoding mitochondrial proteins), and secondary mitochondrial diseases (mutations in non-mitochondrial genes critical for mitochondrial biology), as well as complex diseases with mitochondrial dysfunction (chronic or degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and cancer). Evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction may precede other pathological signs, and be modulated by genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Though mitochondrial dysfunction is a major factor in many disease states, it is often overlooked – or its mechanism unclear – limiting clinical consideration. This collection aims to gather research providing insight into the mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction and potential therapeutic options.

Digital Twin technology 

数字映射技术

客座编辑：Jiewu Leng (广州工业大学), Wilson W.S. Lu (香港大学), Xun Xu

A Digital Twin revolution is on the horizon. A Digital Twin is defined as “a set of virtual information constructs that mimics the structure, context and behaviour of an individual or unique physical asset, that is dynamically updated with data from its physical twin throughout its life-cycle, and that ultimately informs decisions that realize value.” (AIAA, Digital Twin: Definition & Value).

Originally born for aerospace applications, Digital Twins have now been employed in a variety of engineering sectors: from construction to automotive, from healthcare to aerospace, from software engineering to cyber physical systems and blockchains. This Collection will showcase interdisciplinary research and development in Digital Twin technology.
