\maketitle
%%%%%% Abstract %%%%%%
\begin{abstract}
The abstract should be a single paragraph written in plain language that a general reader can understand. Do not include citations, figures, tables, or undefined abbreviations in the abstract. Any abbreviations that appear in the title should be defined in the abstract. The length should be 200 words and not exceed 250 words, to include:
\begin{itemize}
\item An opening sentence that states the question/problem addressed by the research AND
\item Enough background content to give context to the study AND
\item A brief statement of primary results AND
\item A short concluding sentence.
\end{itemize}
\end{abstract}
%%%%%% Main Text %%%%%%
\section{Introduction}
Your manuscript should contain all of the numbered sections specified in this template: Introduction, Results, Discussion, Materials and Methods.
The manuscript should start with a brief introduction that lays out the problem addressed by the research and describes the paper’s importance. The scientific question being investigated should be described in detail. The introduction should provide sufficient background information to make the article understandable to readers in other disciplines and provide enough context to ensure that the implications of the experimental findings are clear.
%%%%% Citations in the text %%%%%%
\subsection*{Citations}
Citations of references in the text should be identified using numbers in square brackets e.g., ``as discussed by Cui \cite{Cui1}'' or ``as discussed elsewhere \cite{Cui1,Ninomiya1,Li1,Wang1,Yang1}.'' All references should be cited within the text and uncited references will be removed.
As an example, this template includes a ``sample.bib'' file containing the references in BibTeX.
%%%%%% Equations %%%%%%
\subsection*{Equations}
Equations should be provided in a text format, rather than as an image. Equations should be numbered consecutively, in round brackets, on the right-hand side of the page by using the ``\textbackslash begin\{equation\}'' command. They should be referred to as Equation 1, etc. in the main text.
\medskip For example, see Equation \ref{eq:1} and Equation \ref{eq:2} below.
\begin{equation} \label{eq:1}
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\end{equation}
\begin{equation} \label{eq:2}
\begin{split}
A & = \frac{\pi r^2}{2} \\
& = \frac{1}{2} \pi r^2
\end{split}
\end{equation}
%%%%%% Figures %%%%%%
\subsection*{Figures}
Figures should be called out within the text and numbered in the order of their citation in the text. Every figure must have a descriptive title beginning with ``Figure [Number] …'' All figure titles should be either a phrase or a sentence; do not mix the two styles. See Figure \ref{fig:1} for example.
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{fig 1}
\caption{This is an example figure.}
\label{fig:1}
\end{figure}
Figures should be displayed on a white background. When preparing figures, consider that they can occupy either a single column (half page width) or two columns (full page width), and should be sized accordingly.
If a figure consists of multiple panels, they should be ordered logically and labelled with roman letters (i.e., A, B, C, etc.). All labels should be explained in the legend. See Figure \ref{fig:2} for example.
Upon acceptance, authors will be asked to provide the figures as separate electronic files. At that stage, figures should be supplied as Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), PostScript (PS), or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) for illustrations or diagrams; Tagged Image File Format (TIFF), JPEG, PNG, PhotoShop (PSD), EPS, or PDF for photography or microscopy. Bitmap (BMP) images should be of at least 300 dpi resolution, unless due to the limited resolution of a scientific instrument. If a bitmap image has labels, the image and labels should be embedded in separate layers.
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\begin{subfigure}{0.4\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth, height=2in]{fig 1}
\caption{\label{fig:2a}}
\end{subfigure}
\begin{subfigure}{0.4\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth, height=2in]{fig 2}
\caption{\label{fig:2b}}
\end{subfigure}
\caption{This is an example of a figure consisting of multiple panels. (\subref{fig:2a}) This is the first panel. (\subref{fig:2b}) This is the second panel.}
\label{fig:2}
\end{figure}
%%%%%% Tables %%%%%%
\subsection*{Tables}
Tables should supplement, not duplicate, the text. They should be called out consecutively within the text and numbered in the order of their citation in the text.
Every table must have a descriptive title beginning with ``Table [Number] …'' as noted in Table \ref{tab:1}. If numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading. Every vertical column should have a heading, followed by a unit of measure (if any) in parentheses. Units should not change within a column. Vertical rules should not be used.
Centered headings of the body of the table can be used to break the entries into groups. Do not use footnotes in column heads; include any such details in sentence form in the table legend. Footnotes should contain information relevant to specific cells of the table; ; use lowercase letters in alphabetical order, as needed: a, b, c, etc.
\begin{table}[b]
\caption{This is an example table.}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\hline
Column 1 & Column 2 & Column 3 \\
\hline
Cell 1 & Cell 2 & Cell 3\\
Cell 4 & Cell 5 & Cell 6 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:1}
\end{table}
\section{Materials and Methods}
The materials and methods section should provide sufficient information to allow replication of the results. This section should be broken up by subheadings. Under exceptional circumstances, when a particularly lengthy description is required, a portion of the materials and methods can be included in the Supplementary Materials.
\subsection{Experimental Design}
Begin with a section titled Experimental Design describing the objectives and design of the study as well as prespecified components.
\subsection{Statistical Analysis}
If applicable, include a section titled Statistical Analysis that fully describes the statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the results. The values for N, P, and the specific statistical test performed for each experiment should be included in the appropriate figure legend or main text.
\subsection{Human and Animal Studies}
For investigations on humans, a statement must be including indicating that informed consent was obtained after the nature and possible consequences of the study was explained.
For authors using experimental animals, a statement must be included indicating that the animals’ care was in accordance with institutional guidelines.
\section{Results}
The results should describe the experiments performed and the findings observed. The results section should be divided into subsections to delineate different experimental themes.
\begin{itemize}
\item All data should be presented in the Results. No data should be presented for the first time in the Discussion. Data (such as from Western blots) should be appropriately quantified.
\item Subheadings must be either all complete sentences or all phrases. They should be brief, ideally less than 10 words. Subheadings should not end in a period. Your paper may have as many subheadings as are necessary.
\item Figures and tables must be called out in numerical order. For example, the first mention of any panel of Fig. 3 cannot precede the first mention of all panels of Fig. 2. The supplementary figures (for example, fig. S1) and tables (table S1) must also be called out in numerical order.
\end{itemize}
\section{Discussion}
Include a Discussion that summarizes (but does not merely repeat) your conclusions and elaborates on their implications. There should be a paragraph outlining the limitations of your results and interpretation, as well as a discussion of the steps that need to be taken for the findings to be applied. Please avoid claims of priority.
