Highlights

  • From disorder to stability

    An intrinsically disordered region in a scaffolding protein called Zasp52 is required to stabilize Z-discs in the indirect flight muscle in Drosophila.

  • Science under threat

    How should the scientific community respond to ideological attacks on science?

    Feature Article

  • How to respond to peer reviewers

    Responding to peer reviews is a crucial part of publishing, but early-career researchers are rarely taught about it.

    Eric Kalkhoven, Manon Kluijtmans
    Feature Article
We liked the idea of having an open 'conversation' with the reviewers during the process, and having the chance to polish the manuscript by following the editors and reviewers’ recommendations without the threat of rejection.
