Latest review

First review round: 7.0 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
My manuscript was under review for over two months before being rejected for lacking molecular validation experiments. If such experiments are a strict requirement, this should be clearly stated before submission, and unsuitable manuscripts should not proceed to full review. I also noticed similar studies without molecular experiments published in the journal, so clarification on this policy would be valuable.
