About The Cover

Online Cover This week features a Research Article that describes how fluid pressure in the proximal tubule in the kidney activates the cation channel TRPV4 to promote endocytosis and retention of albumin. The image shows the colocalization of TRPV4 (green) with Na+/K+-ATPase (red) in renal cortical sections from wild-type mice. [Image: Gualdani et al./Science Signaling]
