Cover Legend

An immunohistochemical image of bone marrow showing Rab27B expression in megakaryocytes. Rab27B regulates the conversion of mature megakaryocytes into proplatelets via the generation of long cytoplasmic extensions. For more information, see the paper by Hendrix et al. pp. 363-368, in the current issue.
