Competing Interests

The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: Florence Meyer-Losic and Philip Kasprzyk are employees of IPSEN. Atul Purohit is a consultant for IPSEN. The authors declare Sterix Ltd. as a commercial funder, funding the employment of Dr. Simon Newman, Dr. Joanna Day, and Dr. Paul Foster. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
