Designing an effective graphic abstract.

The application of visual and design principles to create graphic abstracts clarifies their visual literacy and message.

Animating platelet production adds physiological context.

Animating complex biological processes contextualizes them within their underlying physiology, identifies gaps in our mechanistic understanding, affirms the importance of continued research, and provides a bridge between academic scientists and the general public. Here, two videos illustrate the clinical value of and translate state-of-the-art research in platelet production.
