Cover Image
Cover: Imaris (Bitplane) was used to create a composite 3D visualisation of autophagosomes (red) and lysosomes (green) in MDA-MB-231 cells that have been treated with rapamycin to induce autophagy. Nuclei were stained with DAPI. The green and red objects were rendered as solid surfaces on the basis of the fluorescence from green-labelled LAMP2 and red-labelled LC3. The image was composed by Margaret O'Prey, Ewan McGhee, Jim O'Prey and Kevin Ryan (The Beatson Institute for Cancer Research, UK). See Commentary by E. Y. Liu and K. M.
