Issue 5 is complete Explore our Toc: journals.biologists.com/jcs/issue/13... Our cover image shows mouse oocytes during meiotic telophase I highlighting tubulin (green), DNA (cyan) & the meiotic midbody (magenta). See article by G. Cairo, M. A. Haseeb et al journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

JCS Cover: Images showing mouse oocytes at the division plane during meiotic telophase I. Tubulin and DNA are depicted in green and cyan, respectively. The meiotic midbody is labelled with an antibody that recognises MKLP1 (magenta, central image only). The enlarged central image highlights the intact structure of the meiotic midbody, which fails to form correctly in MOS-deficient oocytes. The bottom-right image depicts a MOS-deficient oocyte during telophase I, in which chromatin can prematurely detach from spindle microtubules and begin to decondense, unlike in the wild-type oocyte shown in the top-left image. See article by G. Cairo, M. A. Haseeb et al. (jcs264411).
