Update request: Molecular Biology of the Cell

I've noticed the current reference style incorrectly handles papers with 10+ authors in the bibliography. MBoC's website (https://www.molbiolcell.org/info-for-authors#formats) states:

"For references with more than 10 authors, list the first 10 authors followed by 'et al.' "

However, the current style instead only lists the name of the first author followed by "et al."

I fixed this locally so no rush. Just wanted to call this out to hopefully prevent a headache for future authors!
