Manuscript Formatting Requirements
Text
Font – Times New Roman; size 14 (tables – size 10); line spacing – 1,5.

All photo prints must be marked to indicate the top of the image.
Introduction (the word «introduction» should not be included)
At the beginning of the article briefly describe the background of the issue, citing sources of literature, and justify the purpose of the study.
Materials and Methods
"Materials and Methods" section should be presented in a format so that by following the described methods and reagents of the experiment the experiment could be reproduced. Known methods can be simply linked to corresponding publications. The author should provide the name of the manufacturer along with the country of production of reagents and materials that were used in the experiments; the type and number of the animals that were used during the experiment and include the methods of anesthesia and euthanasia.

In other words, much of the discussion should be devoted to the interpretation of results.
Conclusions
This final chapter has to summarize key concepts. If required, this section can also point to the parts of work that require further research.
