About The Cover

Online Cover This week features a Research Article that shows that PACRG can functionally substitute for the LUBAC adaptor subunit SHARPIN to stimulate NF-κB signaling. The image shows the NF-κB subunit p65 (green), mitochondria (red), and nuclei (blue) in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. [Image: Meschede et al./Science Signaling]
