Cover Image
Cover: The image shows comets of end-binding protein 3 (EB3) travelling on the plus ends of microtubules as they grow and explore the cytoplasm. The image is temporally colour-coded: showing one minute of microtubule dynamics, coloured by a spectrum to distinguish consecutive frames. In this issue, Gutiérrez-Caballero et al. describe how TACC3 travels ahead of EB3 at the very distal tip of microtubules together with its binding partner, ch-TOG.
