Latest review

First review round: 7.4 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The referees' comments were useful to improve the overall flow/readability of the manuscript. However, for the second revision, one referee asked to have an experiment done with human serum, instead of bovine serum -- which was used for the majority of our experiments. While the new data supported our initial findings, it was placed in the supplementary information file.
