Cover: Live cell image of growing microtubule plus ends in a dividing HeLa cell that stably expresses EB3-GFP. Three consecutive frames obtained at 2.5-second intervals, were colorized in a custom-made plug-in for ImageJ. The frames were obtained by using a Nikon-based Yokogawa spinning disc microscope at a resolution of 67 nm in 1 pixel and an exposure time of 0.5 seconds. The image was composed by Ilya Grigoriev (Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands). See article by A. Akhmanova and M. O. Steinmetz (pp. 3415-3419). - PDF Icon PDF LinkTable of contents
