Anthropogenic climate change drives sea level increases via the thermal expansion of seawater and via the melting of glaciers and of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. According to the 2021 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, global mean sea levels are projected to rise between 0.28 and 1.01m by the year 2100. The consequences of sea level rise include an increased risk of flooding, abrupt shifts in river courses, and the displacement of coastal populations. Advances in remote sensing allow the precise monitoring of local, regional, and global sea level variations, while advances in modeling allow for the increasingly accurate prediction of sea level rise and its complex effects on coastal, estuarine, and riverine areas.
This Collection will highlight research on the causes, consequences, forecasting, and mitigation of rising sea levels.

Ensuring food production has the capacity to meet the needs of populations worldwide requires not only innovative production methods, but also strategies to minimize food waste. Currently, around one third of the harvested fruits and vegetables ends up being wasted before consumption, due to multiple factors, such as overproduction or accidents during distribution. Once harvested, fresh produce remain biological active and undergo a series of reactions that alter their composition, nutritional value, maturation stage, and make them vulnerable to pathogen infections. Understanding the biological processes that take place after harvest will thus enable the development of new strategies to prolong the shelf-life of fresh produce and ultimately contribute to the increase food security.
This Collection considers submissions of original research on vegetable and fruit postharvest biology, including postharvest physiology, senescence, and pathology.

The ability of certain materials to switch between phase states with markedly different optical and electronic properties has fascinated the scientific community for decades. Non-volatile amorphous-crystalline transitions in chalcogenides are well known as the foundation of important data storage technologies, and the metal-insulator transition in vanadium oxide has also been extensively studied. There is enormous, still unexplored compositional variety in the range of elements and compounds that present such switching behaviours, and they continue to present new exploitation and application opportunities in fields ranging from displays and tuneable emitters/absorbers to (nano)photonic switching and neuromorphic computing.
This Collection brings together original research on the topic of phase change materials, focusing on their growth and characterisation, device fabrication, and emerging applications.

With our growing understanding of the immune system and its impact on all diseases and state of health in general, it has become clear that the state of inflammation can influence health outcomes and disease progression, beyond what are known to be immune system-driven diseases. The inflammasome also regulates cancer incidence and prognosis, gut dysbiosis and much more, exerting its influence on health in more ways than can be imagined. In recognition of this ever growing body of scientific evidence that ties inflammation to health at large and incidence and prognosis of disease, this collection aims to bring together studies that focus on all aspects of inflammation and its effect on human health. The collection welcomes primary research submissions on the mechanistic insights on inflammation and its impact on health, new techniques and methodology that aid in assessing and tackling inflammation, its influence on the gut and any treatments to combat inflammation with a direct impact on disease outcomes and its prognosis.

Our visual environment typically contains more information that can be effectively processed by our visual system at any one time. Visual attention refers to the cognitive processes that allow us to select the information that is most relevant to ongoing behaviour and filter out distracting information. Visual attention, or lack thereof, has a major impact on all everyday tasks where actions critically depend on perceived visual information from the environment (e.g., crossing the road, driving, reading). This Collection welcomes original research articles from the areas of Psychology and Neuroscience focusing on the cognitive and neural processes underlying visual attention and its associated disorders.

Air pollution is a major environmental and public health concern that affects a significant proportion of the world’s population. Pollutant particles can trigger or worsen asthma - a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways - leading to symptoms including wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. The important link between pollution and asthma has been highlighted by investigations into the molecular mechanisms of pollution-associated asthma exacerbation, the effects of different air pollutants on respiratory health, and epidemiological studies that have correlated air pollution with asthma prevalence and morbidity.
This Collection welcomes original research articles that advance our understanding of how air pollution influences asthma. We invite submissions from a wide range of disciplines, including, but not limited to, molecular biology, immunology, respiratory medicine, epidemiology, and environmental health.

There have been several significant technological advances within the field of microscopy over recent years, however the diffraction limit of light microscopy has restricted resolution at the nanoscale level available with conventional methods. In contrast to other super-resolution microscopy techniques, expansion microscopy is characterised by a physical, rather than optical, magnification of specimens following their embedding in a swellable polymer matrix. This has enabled visualisation of clustered molecules and tissue architecture at nanoscale resolution through a simple protocol without necessitating additional expensive equipment.
This Collection welcomes all original research articles utilising or building on expansion microscopy, and aims to underscore its potential across biological disciplines and highlight advances in protocol development.

Cannabis sativa is a species of fast-growing non-woody plants, rich in metabolites like terpenes and cannabinoids, which has historically been farmed for multiple purposes, such as food, construction materials or natural fibres, making it an ideal source of sustainable produce. Cultivars with high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol, on the other hand, have been extensively farmed for recreational purposes, due to this chemical´s psychotropic properties. Recent reports suggest that the cannabinoids from C. sativa can additionally have applications in the treatment of some cancers and neurological diseases, as well as pain management, although the extent of these benefits remains controversial and poorly studied. Research on the species still lags behind other crops, mostly due to governmental regulations that have imposed severe restrictions on growing the plants. These, however, are gradually being lifted in several countries, creating new opportunities to explore the potential of this versatile species.
This collection invites submissions of original research on the biology, ecology and evolution of Cannabis sativa, from physiology to genetics, including analyses on secondary metabolites and their properties.

Fashion is one of the most profitable industries in the world. It employs millions of people and is a key source of income for women worldwide, thus contributing to reduce gender inequalities, particularly in developing countries. The industry is, however, also one of the biggest polluters, being responsible for 2-8% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. From fibre production and handling, to textile coloration, and waste management, the fashion industry can severely impact ecosystems, often with serious consequences to the health of exposed populations. Despite the commitment from the industry to address these issues and promote fashion sustainability, most initiatives have fallen short of the desired results.
This Collection welcomes submissions of original research on fashion sustainability, including studies on its impact on health and the environment, as well as ecologically friendly alternatives to the current production methods, materials, and dyes.
