When preparing figures and figure legends, ensure consistent naming for experimental groups and use a clear, logical order for presenting data. Maintain a uniform design for graphs and images, including titles, axis labels, and color schemes. Provide detailed figure legends that describe the content, methods, and statistical analyses, allowing readers to understand the figures independently of the main text. Always include scale bars for images and adhere to the journal's guidelines for formatting and language style.
