On The Cover: Immunohistochemical staining of MFAP4 (red) and fibrillin-1 (green) in newborn murine skin. MFAP4 is a microfibril component with tropoelastin and fibrillin-binding
properties, promoting formation of functional elastic fibers. MFAP4 co-localizes with
fibrillin-1 within the same fibers at postnatal day P7, but just after birth, MFAP4
and fibrillin-1 are present on distinct fibers. The photo was taken by Ph.D. student
Alexandra Zuk, Cologne, Germany. For details see the article by Pilecki et al. (2016) 291, 1103–1114....Show more
