Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM) is an Open Access biomedical research journal focusing on the use of model systems to better understand, diagnose and treat human disease.
The primary aim of DMM is to promote human health by inspiring collaboration between basic and clinical researchers in translational science. The journal is committed to presenting rigorously peer-reviewed research that has significant translational impact. The interdisciplinary nature of DMM means that a diverse range of diseases, approaches and models fall within its broad scope. DMM is guided by an international team of expert research-active Editors, led by Monica Justice and Ross Cagan, and supported by an outstanding Editorial Advisory Board.
Editor's choice
Miguel Abal and colleagues implanted a biomimetic device to recapitulate the peritoneal metastatic niche and to efficiently capture disseminating ovarian cancer cells in vivo.
We also highlight CETI-PIC3, a new Resource developed by the Anderson group to study tissue-specific expression of cytokines in zebrafish.
Recent highlights
DMM Editorial Board member David Hackam and his team review emerging precision-based models of necrotising enterocolitis, a devastating complication of premature infants.
Also in this issue, a new Editorial by Ling-shiang Chuang discusses what the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lab shutdowns mean for an early-career researcher.
First Person interviews
DMM publishes 'First Person' interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in DMM, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. The authors talk about their work in and out of the lab, the journeys that led them to where they are now and the issues they feel are priorities for early-career researchers.

DMM first authors Alec Nickolls, Sara Ibrahim, Dimitrije Stanković, Amélie Bacle and Malabika Chakrabarti all share the stories behind their latest research.
