Preprint and Open Review

In February 2020, Henry Kwok from the University of Macau asked me whether I want to contribute to an upcoming special issue in the journal Biology*. He was guest editing this special issue on the topic of Proteases — From Basic Structure to Function to Drug Design as Targeted Therapy. The topic is exactly what we are researching at the moment: whether we can target the lymphangiogenic growth factor VEGF-C via its activating proteases. So I tentatively agreed to contribute a review on the activation of VEGFs. We decided for the first time to simultaneously make the manuscript available as a preprint AND to ask for open review. Open review means that the reviewers’ comments and our rebuttal will be published together with the article if the article is accepted.
