Molecular Control of Cardiac Development and Congenital Heart Disease
This proposed collection will highlight recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate heart development and how their disruption leads to congenital heart disease. We welcome original research, reviews, and perspectives addressing genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional, and signaling pathways that govern cardiac cell specification, morphogenesis, chamber formation, and functional maturation. Particular interest will be given to studies that connect developmental mechanisms with disease pathogenesis, including work using animal models, stem cell systems, human genetics, and multi-omics approaches. By bringing together studies across basic and translational developmental biology, this collection aims to provide new insights into the origins of congenital heart disease and to promote emerging strategies for diagnosis, modeling, and therapeutic intervention.
Keywords: cardiac development, congenital heart disease, transcriptional regulation, epigenetics, cardiogenesis, animal models
Publishing Model: Open Access
Deadline: Jan 29, 2027
Environmental Cues and Plant Developmental Plasticity
Plants have evolved sophisticated regulatory networks to integrate environmental signals (e.g., light, temperature, drought, and nutrient availability) into developmental programs, from seed germination to flowering and senescence. This Collection aims to showcase cutting-edge research on molecular, physiological, and ecological mechanisms underlying plant-environment interactions in development.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Environmentally regulated plant development across key stages, including germination, meristem function, flowering, and senescence
- Regulatory networks linking environmental signals to developmental decisions, including gene regulation and network modeling
- Epigenetic and chromatin-based regulation of developmental plasticity
We welcome original research papers, reviews, and brief report that advance our understanding of how plants tailor their development to thrive in a changing world. Submissions should highlight rigor and practical implications for agriculture and ecological restoration.
Keywords: environment, plant development, regulatory network, interaction, signal
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 13.
Publishing Model: Open Access
Deadline: Jan 20, 2027
