About the Cover

Cover Figure


Whole-mount peroxidase staining of mouse tail epidermis. Ventral view of epidermis separated from the underlying dermis by EDTA treatment and stained for peroxidase activity (brown) with a Haematoxylin counterstain (blue). Against the backdrop of interfollicular epidermis, large sebaceous glands are highlighted by their endogenous peroxidase activity, which is key to their role in protecting hair follicles from invading pathogens. For further details, see Editorial on p. 3075.
