  1. Introduction

The introduction section of your manuscript should provide a concise overview of the study, placing it within a broader context and emphasizing its importance. Clearly define the purpose of the work and its significance, outlining the gaps or limitations in the existing research field. It is important to conduct a thorough review of relevant literature, citing critical publications contributing to understanding the topic. When necessary, highlight any controversial or diverging hypotheses that exist. Finally, briefly state the main aim of the study. In-text references should be numbered in order of appearance and indicated by numerals in square brackets (e.g., [1] or [2,3], or [4–6]).

The materials and methods section of your manuscript should provide a comprehensive description that enables other researchers to replicate and expand upon the published results. It is important to note that submitting your manuscript for publication makes all materials, data, computer code, and protocols associated with the study available to readers. If there are any restrictions on the availability of materials or information, please disclose them at the submission stage. Provide detailed descriptions for new methods and protocols, while well-established methods can be briefly summarized and appropriately referenced.
