Cover: A 17.5-day-old chimeric mouse embryo that was obtained by microinjecting three different mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell lines, which individually express cyan, green or red fluorescent proteins under control of the ROSA26 locus, into 3-day-old blastocysts obtained from the natural matings of C57Bl/6 mice. The cyan, green and red fluorescence in this high-degree polychromatic embryo reflect the specific developmental contributions of the injected ES cells.

Innovating immunology: an interview with Ruslan Medzhitov
Ruslan Medzhitov was inspired to become a researcher in immunology on reading a 1989 paper written by Charles Janeway that outlined a new theory for immune system activation. Just a few years later, having achieved a postdoc position in Janeway’s lab, he carried out the experiments that confirmed the theory, re-igniting interest in the field of innate immunity and launching his own career. Here, he discusses this early discovery and explains what he considers the three most important questions facing immunologists today.
