On the cover: Mitochondria are central to the metabolic state of a cell. van der Windt et al. (pages 68–78) show that mitochondrial respiratory capacity is pivotal in the survival of T cells after infection and in the subsequent development and response of memory T cells. The cover shows a stylized image of epifluorescence staining of CD8+ T cells in which mitochondria are stained with mitotracker red (accumulates in respiring mitochondria), mitotracker green (stains mitochondrial mass), or JC-1 (fluoresces green or red, when membrane potential is low or high, respectively). The diverse pattern of mitochondrial staining indicates the heterogeneity of these organelles. Original confocal images by Mike Tighe. Image was stylized by Rianne van der Windt and Erika Pearce.
