  • Focus Issue: Trained Immunity

    The articles in this focus issue discuss progress towards a better understanding of memory in the innate immune system, and efforts to develop new vaccines and therapeutics based on “trained immunity”.

    Collection

  • No change for astroctyes

    Genetically removing the RNA-binding protein PTBP1 from astrocytes does not convert them into neurons, contrary to previous claims.

    Research 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.
