Collection

Metallomics and the Microbiome

This special collection hopes to be useful to the wider Metallomics community by serving as a useful representation of the current status of metallomics and microbiota research while highlighting nascent research questions that are primed for study.

Collection

Neurometallomics

Commissioning Editors: Dr Mark Hackett and Dr Kelly Summers

In this special collection of Metallomics, we highlight recent advancements in neurometallomics, including new knowledge of the brain's metallome, methodological improvements for detecting metal ions, and reviews on the progress of linking metal ions to brain function and disease pathways.

Collection

Collection in memory of Deborah Zamble

Guest edited by Michael Maroney, Stefano Ciurli, and Hilde DeReuse

In this special collection of Metallomics, we commemorate the scientific career of the former Editorial Board member Deborah Zamble, and her passion for metals in biology in bacteria.

Collection

Experimental design for Metallomics research

Guest edited by Jürgen Gailer, Mike Wieser, Carolyn Dillon, and Hugh Harris

In this special collection of Metallomics, we discuss a range of experimental design strategies to “see” metals in biological systems.

Collection

Metal Nanoparticles in Biological and Environmental Systems

Guest edited by Björn Meermann, Volker Nischwitz, and Katrin Löschner

This special collection of articles in Metallomics highlights different (elemental) analytical techniques used to analyze the fate of nanoparticles in complex biological matrices.

Collection

Synchrotron-based Imaging Strategies to Visualize (trace) Metals
