Call for Papers: Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture for cancer research

Hereditas is calling for submissions to our Collection on Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture for cancer research. This Collection explores the development of 3D cell culture for cancer research and cancer biology through 3D cell culture strategies. 

Call for Papers: Single-cell multi-omic analysis of cancer interactome

Hereditas is calling for submissions that develop innovative computational methods to integrate these multi-omic data, leveraging existing datasets or focusing on cell type-specific interactions, to uncover novel insights into cancer.

Call for Papers: Deep learning the genome

Hereditas is calling for submissions to our Collection on "Deep learning the genome".

Featured Comment: Novel variants require established frameworks: emphasizing the role of ISTH diagnostic and classification guidelines in congenital fibrinogen disorders

New Content Item (2)This commentary aims to highlight the importance of applying the diagnostic and classification guidelines of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH), along with standardized bleeding assessment tools, in the evaluation of patients with congenital fibrinogen disorders. Additionally, it addresses key laboratory methodologies relevant to the diagnosis of these conditions. We believe that this commentary will contribute meaningfully to the ongoing discussions and promote the adoption of standardized approaches in the assessment of rare congenital fibrinogen disorders.

Society information

The Mendelian Society of Lund was founded in 1910 and except for a short break during 1912-1916 has been active ever since. In 1920, the Society started to publish Hereditas, a scientific journal in genetics. In the post-genomic era, the scope of Hereditas has evolved to include any research on genomic analysis.
