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.

The 8th International Duodecim symposium on “Endothelial growth factors in cancer and cardiovascular diseases” took place in the Vanajanlinna mansion from 9th to 11 June, 2011. It is just a bit more than 100 km from Helsinki and I did the trip by bicycle. This is the abstract for the poster I made for the meeting:
