Journal club

Each month we comment on one new paper or preprint that advances, challenges or clarifies bleb biology.

We choose among papers and preprints first published online in the previous month. Preprints are labeled preprint. We write the commentary ourselves, and it gives our own scientific view.

How papers are chosen

Candidates come from rerunning the site’s literature search for the previous month and sorting the new papers by the rules of the paper lists. A paper counts from its first online publication, not its print issue, so papers from earlier months that the databases index late join the lists but are not candidates. With the help of a language model we shortlist three to five papers for their novelty, the strength of their methods, their relevance to the site and how much they change what is known, and we choose one. Our own papers are marked ◆. If a chosen paper changes what a page says, we revise that page openly and cite the new evidence.

Entries

The first entry will appear in a coming month.
