           2.3.1 Front Matter
           2.3.1.1 Title
           The title of the manuscript should be concise, specific and relevant, with no more than 16 words if possible.

           2.3.1.2 Authors and Affiliations
           Authors’ full names should be listed. The initials of middle names can be provided. The affiliations and email addresses for
           all authors should be listed. At least one author should be designated as the corresponding author. In addition, corresponding
           authors are suggested to provide their Open Researcher and Contributor ID upon submission. Please note that any change
           to authorship is not allowed after manuscript acceptance. The authors’ affiliations should be provided in this format:
           department, institution, city, postcode, country.

           2.3.1.3 Abstract
           The abstract should be a single paragraph with word limitation and specific structure requirements (for more details please
           refer to Types of Manuscripts). It usually describes the main objective(s) of the study, explains how the study was done,
           including any model organisms used, without methodological detail, and summarizes the most important results and their
           significance. The abstract must be an objective representation of the study: it is not allowed to contain results that are not
           presented and substantiated in the manuscript, or exaggerate the main conclusions. Citations should not be included in the
           abstract.
