Front cover: CD11c immunopositive microglia were observed in the subiculum in a brain section from the APPSwDI/ mNos2-/- mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. These cells demonstrate genes associated with immunosuppression and express arginase 1. Sections were prepared and immunostained by Angela Everhart and the photograph was taken by Carol Colton using a Nikon Digital Sight DS Qi1mc camera and a Nikon Eclipse TE200 microscope. Contents
