Post-Processing Guidelines
Essential steps for publication-ready illustrations
【Medical Illustration Post-Processing Checklist】 ═══════════════════════════════════════ 📋 Step 1: Medical Logic Review (Core Value) ═══════════════════════════════════════ □ Verify GPCR receptor helix structure (should be 7 transmembrane helices) □ Check ion channel conformation accuracy □ Confirm signal pathway arrow directions (activation→green/inhibition→red) □ Validate receptor binding site positions □ Check protein complex assembly correctness □ Verify organelle morphology (mitochondrial cristae, ER structure, etc.) ═══════════════════════════════════════ 📝 Step 2: Text & Label Correction ═══════════════════════════════════════ □ Check all protein name spellings (e.g., IL-6, not IL6) □ Confirm gene symbols follow HUGO nomenclature □ Verify annotation lines point precisely □ Stand...

Logic Modeling
Use Scopus AI or this tool to analyze abstracts and extract core biological elements
- Ensure extracted elements reflect latest pathogenic mechanisms
- Focus on completeness of molecular pathways
Prompt Generation
Generate English prompts for Nano Banana 2 with detailed labels and multi-panel layouts
- Use BioRender or Nature Reviews visual style
- Clearly annotate Labels and Arrows fields
AI Image Generation
Copy prompts to Nano Banana 2 and generate mechanism diagrams in 30 seconds
- Check if generated text labels are clear
- Evaluate if overall layout meets expectations
Post-Processing
Perform compliance processing in PS/AI to ensure submission success
- This is the key step for successful submission
- Maintain the core competitiveness of illustrators
Post-Processing Checklist
Receptor Conformation
Verify GPCR helices, ion channel structures, and receptor binding sites are correctly depicted
Pathway Direction
Ensure signal transduction arrows point in the correct biological direction
Label Spelling
Check all protein names, gene symbols, and abbreviations for accuracy
Label Alignment
Ensure label lines point precisely to their targets
Resolution Check
Adjust to 300/600 DPI for print publication
Export Format
Export as .TIFF, .EPS, or .PDF for lossless quality
