It is common to indicate equal contributions with an asterisk (*). In contrast, the principal investigator (PI) under whose guidance the research was conducted is listed as the last author. In interdisciplinary papers, it is common to have more than one PI who substantially guided the research; in this case, equal contributions are indicated as co-corresponding authors (^). In particular, the Human Frontiers in Sciences Program expects all Co-PIs to publish papers together. *=co-first authors ^ = corresponding author(s) White*, C.D., Cammarata*, J., Aoyama, T., Waller, M., Szovenyi, P., Roeder, A.H.K., Scanlon,
