So I am writing a review article of my work and the rest of the work in the field as kind of my final hurrah for my graduate career. So I got the editor's comments back today and the one major comment she had was that she was worried that the review was too focused and asked if I could expand the review to include my protein (LOX) in other cancer types. I was just like... huh?? The entire review is on the paradoxical roles of LOX in different cancer tissues!! 10 pages of different expression levels and function in tumor tissues! I didn't even know how to respond to that one. Dawn wondered if there was something in the abstract that led the editor to believe that I only looked at one tumor type. But throughout it we discuss "various cancer cells" and then specifically name all of the tumor types studied by different labs in the paper. So yeah... I don' t know. Either way, we're going to re-word the abstract a bit and I have to add a little paragraph about LOX in other diseases (which we were avoiding doing because it has already been extensively reviewed... but that was the other request from the editor). And then we'll re-submit it. I will have it done tomorrow... so it's not a huge deal... just slightly annoying. Oh well, what can you do? At least I made it past the first step! They didn't reject it outright. That's always a positive. :)
Oky doky pokies... I'm off for now... it's almost time to go home... YAY! :) Have a great one!!
