On the road with DMM

2025 was a busy year for DMM, the highlight being the Company of Biologists’ 100 anniversary celebrations (https://doi.org/10.1242/dmm.052792). We marked this important milestone with numerous activities throughout the year, including a unique scientific conference that took place in March. DMM played its part by hosting a fascinating and thought-provoking day-long strand on ‘Interdisciplinary approaches to combatting antimicrobial resistance’, organised by Katherine Duncan (Newcastle University, UK) and DMM Editorial Advisory Board member Serge Mostowy (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK) (see Mostowy and Duncan, 2025).

The next adventure for DMM will be in October 2026 in Ohio, USA, for our meeting on Innovative Preclinical Models for Pediatric Cancer Research. Advances in next-generation sequencing have enabled unprecedented cataloguing of genetic aberrations in tumours, but understanding how these genetic changes drive cellular transformation and how they can be effectively targeted for therapy, will require multidisciplinary collaboration and preclinical models that are truly representative of the in vivo environment. Organisers Jim Amatruda, Mimi Bandopadhayay, Ana Banito and Elaine Mardis have lined up an outstanding group of speakers, who will discuss new models and technologies that have the potential to transform our understanding of paediatric cancers.

November 2026 sees us in East Sussex, UK, for a Workshop on Integrating Multi-Modal, Multi-Scale Models of Cardiovascular Disease Mechanisms, with organisers Jennifer Davis, Christine Mummery and Beth Pruitt. This smaller event will focus on the novel models and innovations that will underpin important scientific advances in cardiovascular disease research. We can't wait!

Special issues with integrity

DMM has been publishing special issues on topics of interest to our readers since 2014. However, such a practice is now under particular scrutiny from the community as a result of concerns regarding research integrity (Crosetto et al., 2026). At DMM, special issue themes and their Guest Editors are identified through discussions with members of the DMM Editor team and/or the Editorial Advisory Board. Invited Guest Editors are responsible for outlining the scope of the special issue, and also identifying topics and authors for the review-type articles that DMM publishes; the entire process is carefully overseen by the journal's Editorial Office and the Editor-in-Chief retains overall responsibility for the content. Peer review of submitted Research Articles is handled by the existing team of DMM Editors and all standard publication ethics policies of the journal apply. Editorial decisions for manuscripts for which Guest Editors are authors are made entirely independently of the Guest Editors. With these policies in place, we strongly believe that readers can be confident in the integrity of our special issue content.

Our 2025 Special Issue, Infectious Disease: Evolution, Mechanism and Global Health – guest edited by Judy Allen, Sumana Sanyal, David Tobin and Russell Vance, is now complete. As infectious diseases continue to challenge health organisations worldwide, this latest special issue seeks to contribute to the vital continuing conversation between basic scientists, clinical researchers and clinicians. Read the introductory Editorial to find out more about the articles published in that special issue (Hackett et al., 2025a). And remember DMM continues to welcome submissions on these topics in the future.

June 2026 will see the publication of DMM's latest Special Issue – In Vitro Models of Human Disease to Inform Mechanism and Drug Discovery. Advances in the development and application of human stem-cell-based models and tools are critical for disease research and therapeutic development. Edited by DMM Editor Vivian Li, alongside Guest Editors Austin Smith and Joseph Wu, it will include our usual excellent selection of Reviews and Research Articles, which will describe the application of complex human cellular models, such as organoids, assembloids, tumour organoids, organs-on-a-chip and gastropods, to inform disease mechanisms and drive the discovery of novel therapeutics.

Supporting the research and researchers of tomorrow

DMM will continue its commitment to supporting early-career researchers (ECRs) (Hackett, 2025a). Our ‘First Person’ interviews during 2025 featured over 40 ECR authors of papers published in the journal, highlighting not only their excellent research but also their dedication to improving human health. More than 180 ECRs were the deserved recipients of our Conference Travel Grants and 30 more received Travelling Fellowships. Respectively, these offer financial support to ECRs wanting to attend conferences, workshops and training courses that relate to the scope of DMM, and funds for collaborative visits to other laboratories. In addition, we will soon be short-listing candidates for our Outstanding Paper Prize, which is awarded to the first author(s) of the papers that are judged by DMM's Editors to be the most-outstanding contributions to the journal that year (Hackett 2025b).

DMM's expert teams

DMM is lucky enough to have an outstanding Editorial Advisory Board. The board has an important role for the journal, providing invaluable expertise and advice to Editors on submitted manuscripts, and to the Editor-in-Chief regards journal strategy and development.

We are grateful to those Board members who stepped down at the end of their term this past year for their valued service and dedication to the journal over the years: Frances Balkwill (Barts Cancer Institute, UK), Dirk Bohmann (University of Rochester Medical Center, USA), Nancy M. Bonini (University of Pennsylvania, USA), Robert Cardiff (University of California Davis, USA), Sabine P. Cordes (Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Canada), Elaine Dzierzak (The University of Edinburgh, UK), Jonathan A. Epstein (Perelman School of Medicine, USA), Elizabeth Fisher (University College London, UK), Yasuyuki Fujita (Kyoto University Medical School, Japan), Aron M. Geurts (Medical College of Wisconsin, USA), Brigid Hogan (Duke University, USA), Raghu Kalluri (MD Anderson Cancer Center, USA), Richard I. Morimoto (Northwestern University, USA), Stefano Piccolo (University of Padua, Italy) and Chad A. Shaw (Baylor College of Medicine, USA). We will be inviting new members to join the team throughout 2026.

DMM welcomed Shinya Yamamoto (Baylor College of Medicine, USA) to the team of research-active Editors who handle research submissions to DMM. Shinya works on the integration of Drosophila genetics and human genomics, new disease gene discovery, Drosophila technology and resource development, cell-cell communication in development and disease, and bioinformatic tool development. We also appointed Satdarshan (Paul) Singh Monga (University of Pittsburgh, USA). His research focuses on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of liver development, regeneration and cancer. DMM is delighted to have such outstanding new Editors join our team; you'll find out more about them in a future editorial.

Our thanks to the whole DMM community

DMM would also like to take the opportunity, as we do at the start of every year, to thank our reviewers for their time, expertise and dedication. The names of all our 2025 reviewers, including the co-reviewers, are listed in Box 1. We also thank those reviewers of articles transferred to DMM from Review Commons.

We thank our Editorial Advisory Board: your time, expertise and thoughtful input are vital to the journal's strategy and integrity.

We are particularly grateful to our Editors, who spend countless hours assessing manuscripts (see Box 2 for our most-read and -cited articles during 2025), making editorial decisions and working to maintain DMM's reputation. We know that your DMM work draws you from your own research, teaching and home lives, and appreciate your expertise and dedication.

To our authors, we are delighted you trusted us to publish your work and hope you found it to be a positive experience (Box 3). DMM is part of The Company of Biologists family; by publishing in DMM you are supporting a not-for-profit charity run by scientists for scientists.
