About the Cover
Cover: Optical sections of mitotic chromosomes of zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos at the cleavage stage after staining with antibodies against the integral membrane protein of the inner nuclear membrane LAP
(red) and the DNA-staining dye Hoechst (blue). These early developmental stages are characterized by the association of nuclear-envelope-forming vesicles with mitotic chromosomes prior to anaphase, resulting in the formation of a nuclear envelope around each single chromosome (upper nucleus; approximately 15 chromosomes are visible). Subsequently nuclear membranes of neighbouring karyomeres start to fuse (lower nucleus). For further details see the article by Schoft et al., p. 2505.
