Cover: Cross-section of a complex atherosclerotic lesion showing a large necrotic core, neovascularization and intraplaque haemorrhage. Such pathological features, previously described in human vulnerable plaque underlying acute coronary syndromes, can be consistently reproduced in a novel mouse model of complex atherosclerosis.

High-dose vitamin B1 therapy prevents the development of experimental fatty liver driven by overnutrition
Vitamin B1 is shown to prevent nutrition-induced fatty liver in our current Editor’s choice by Hay Davir and his colleagues, when they use sheep as a large-animal model for studying the disease.
Find out more in an interview with the paper's first authors, Mugagga Kalyesubula and Ramgopal Mopuri.
