The platform elegantly integrates my web-based research and publication needs, without the bloat and excess of existing reference managers. I am certain the F1000 platform will increase my productivity and make journal reading, annotation, and referencing a seamless and more enjoyable process. I am recommending the platform to all my scientific colleagues."

"Could this be the start of the HIV prevention breakthrough we have been patiently waiting for?" Gardner MR, Kattenhorn LM, Kondur HR et al. Nature. 2015; 519:87-91 9 * Whatever will B cell be? [ http://f1000.com/prime/725333640?key=SeVd9YG09mHtgbl ] This thought-provoking article demonstrates that naive B cells can differentiate into four effector cell types when exposed to antigens: plasma cells, activated precursors, germinal center B cells and memory B cells. Taylor JJ, Pape KA, Steach HR et al. Science. 2015; 347:784-7 6 * Delivering sugar [ http://f1000.com/prime/725398372?key=o2rRqyRZ5qomF2T ] An important step forward in clarifying the pathway via which sugars are supplied to the developing zygotic embryo during Arabidopsis seed development.
