Knowledge and motivations of training in peer review: An international cross-sectional survey.

Background: Despite having a crucial role in scholarly publishing, peer reviewers do not typically require any training. The purpose of this study was to conduct an international survey on the current perceptions and motivations of researchers regarding peer review training.

Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted of biomedical researchers.

Limited online training opportunities exist for scholarly peer reviewers.

Objectives: To create a comprehensive list of all openly available online trainings in scholarly peer review and to analyze their characteristics.

Study Design And Setting: A systematic review of online training material in scholarly peer review openly accessible between 2012 and 2022. Training characteristics were presented in evidence tables and summarized narratively.

TREM2 Promotes Immune Evasion by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Human Macrophages.

Macrophage surface receptors are critical for pathogen defense, as they are the gatekeepers for pathogen entry and sensing, which trigger robust immune responses. TREM2 (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2) is a transmembrane surface receptor that mediates anti-inflammatory immune signaling. A recent study showed that TREM2 is a receptor for mycolic acids in the mycobacterial cell wall and inhibits macrophage activation.
