Publishers are increasingly charging authors fees to put their accepted manuscripts in #openaccess repositories. SPARC supports recommendations from Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) on how authors, funders, institutions & libraries can respond. coar-repositories.org/news-updates...
Unfair publisher fees for deposit into repositories highlight the need for authors to exercise their rights

Tetraspanin CD9 alters cellular trafficking and endocytosis of tetraspanin CD63, affecting CD63 packaging into small extracellular vesicles
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are particles secreted from cells that play vital
roles both in normal physiology and in human disease. sEVs are highly enriched in
tetraspanin proteins, such as CD...
