Splenic tissue sections (8 μm) were mounted on precooled slides, stored unfixed at −70°C and in situ hybridization

performed as described previously 46. Hybridized digoxigenin-labeled anti-sense RNA probes (SP6/T7 labeling kit, Roche) were detected with alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-digoxigenin Fab (Roche), and developed with BCIP/NBT (Promega). In situ hybridization for each RNA probe was performed in two independent experiments. Specificity of hybridization was controlled by using sense RNA probes. The MI-503 authors thank H.

“This issue of Infancy marks the transition to a new editorial team. The previous team, led by editor Martha Ann Bell at Virginia Tech University, will be a hard act to follow; at last report, manuscript turnaround was 57 days and Infancy’s impact factor had been raised to over 1.9. Many of the papers in this issue were accepted by the previous team (which included Celia Brownell, Thierry Nazzi, Lisa Oakes, and Douglas Teti), and the next few issues will feature a mix of papers from the teams as the transition continues.

I am honored to have been chosen to serve as Infancy’s new editor, and I am pleased to announce a team featuring three new associate editors, Suzanne Curtin (University of Calgary), Ronny Geva (Bar Ilan University), and Catherine Tamis-LeMonda (New York University). Megan Blossom here at the University of Kansas will serve as our Editorial Assistant. In this term, we will look to maintain the accomplishments and capitalize on the momentum of the previous team. However, we will look to initiate some changes to the journal as well. First, we hope to publish more papers in a more timely fashion by setting length limits for submissions; look for word count limits on submissions in author instructions on the Tacrolimus (FK506) Wiley website by the start of the calendar year 2014. Second, we will look to encourage and promote more translational science in Infancy over our term; while maintaining its traditional emphases (i.e., early normative cognitive, language, social, and affective development) and we hope to extend the scope and impact of Infancy by opening it up to rigorous work in (for example) early intervention and neurodevelopmental disorders in infancy. We are grateful to the Martha Ann’s team for their service to the Society, and we look forward to the opportunity to serve and help shape the field of infant studies for the next 5 years.
