Cover: Developmental stage-dependent Bergmann glia defects in Ptenlox/lox;hGfap-cre+ mice. Sagittal sections immunolabeled with an anti-GFAP antibody reveal Bergmann glia prematurely transformed into an astrocytic morphology in P14 mutants. Note that some astrocytic Bergmann fibers still retain endfeet on the pial surface. See article by Yue et al. on p. 3281.
