+This Publication Page is meant to only contain information specific to the publication it's describing. Supplemental Methods that may be reused for another publication are supposed to go to the respective Experiment Page.
+
+Possible examples for non-reuseable information that could go on this page:
+
+- Supplemental results
+- Supplemental figures
+- Download links to supplemental videos, e.g. on Zenodo
+- Data processing methods that are specific to the publication's research question
+
+Programming code for pulling the information on samples or individual scans is at the bottom of the page. Editing the samples required happens not here, but in the Input_mice.csv file. Do not edit the code below the demarcated line, to avoid breaking the functionality.
