Use when writing the Cancer Cell (Cell Press) front matter — the Summary, eTOC blurb, Highlights, and graphical abstract. It crafts these short items for accuracy and impact; it does not write Results or calibrate statistics.

What's inside
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Need Highlights (the short bullet list Cell Press requires)
Need the eTOC blurb (one-paragraph teaser for the table of contents)
Building or refining the graphical abstract
The Summary (abstract)
Cell Press uses a single-paragraph Summary (verify the current word limit on the author page). Structure it as a tight mechanistic arc:
Context / gap — the cancer problem and the unknown (1 sentence).
Approach — the systems used (cells / in vivo / human), at a high level.
Core finding — the mechanism: what regulates what, with direction.
Validation — that it holds in vivo and/or in patient data.
Significance — the translational implication (vulnerability / biomarker / therapy), calibrated to the evidence.
Lead with the discovery, not the background. Name the molecule/axis and the cancer context concretely. Avoid hype words ("novel," "unprecedented") and unsupported clinical promises.
Highlights
Provide the required number of short bullets (commonly four; verify current count), each ~85 characters.
Each highlight is a result, not a method or aim.
Order them as a mini-story: key mechanism → validation → translational point.
Make them specific and declarative ("X drives Y via Z in pancreatic tumors"), not vague ("X plays a role").
eTOC blurb
One short paragraph (a few sentences) written for a broad cancer audience.
Third person, present tense; names the authors' key finding and why it matters.
Often written as "Author et al. show that ..." — confirm the current style.
No abbreviations that a non-specialist would not know.
Graphical abstract
One panel that conveys the mechanism and its consequence at a glance.
Show the axis (input → node → output) and the tumor context; minimal text.
Must match the paper's actual claims — no implied results beyond the data.
