Neurons have a distinct shape. The long processes for sending a signal (the axon) and for receiving signals (dendrites) are often far away from the cell body (soma) containing the nucleus. Thus, neurons have sophisticated systems for transporting messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and proteins involved in protein synthesis to these cellular processes for locally regulated protein … Read more
I have recently interacted with early career and late stage scientists who have had problems with predatory journals or journals with low requirements for members of their editorial boards.
